Yes, copying the file to that location is deprecated. However, if
KAppFinder succeeds in finding "javaws", the file will be copied to:
$KDEDIR/share/applnk/Internet/
Which is also where you can copy it if you want it visible on the Menu.
In which case, you will probably want to add an icon to the file:
Icon=java
If you want to do this the new way and copy the file to the new style
location:
$XDG_DATA_DIR/applications/
{There is no: XDG_DATA_DIR so choose one in the path in: XDG_DATA_DIRS
or use "kde-config as KK suggested}
You are going to need to modify the file by adding Categories and/or
Hidden=yes.

No doubt about that, but some KDE3 apps, including KAppFinder, are still
doing it the old (wrong -- deprecated) way.
So, although this probably won't work with KDE-4, it is the easiest way
to get this working in KDE-3.5. But, it is a good idea to point out
that it is a bit of a kludge.
