Well, if you happen to have a file with .jar extension, which has
executable bit set, and try to execute such file, it will be executed
with java from openjdk-6.
Whenever this will break something, or not, is up to you to decide.

Probably because some package had openjdk-6 as a dependency.
Try to remove openjdk-6, see what happens.
