Hello.

Your question is better asked on distro-pkg-dev at openjdk.java.net, the 
IcedTea alias.  At the moment, the base OpenJDK 6 code from Sun doesn't 
contain webstart or plugin functionality; however, we'll be open 
sourcing the new plugin from 6u10 soon.  IcedTea builds include 
independent webstart and plugin implementations.
