Managing Menu choices on the desktop in F21

Greetings,
After installing F21 on a x64 desktop, I proceeded to also install non-RPM
software.
For these types of software to appear in the menus, there are *.desktop
files in the directory:
/usr/share/applications
The software that I installed is OpenJUMP, a java-based GIS package
somewhat like Quantum-GIS (QGIS Desktop).
In the *.desktop file, there is a line that controls the submenu
placement; it looks like this:
Categories=Education;Geography;Science;
Howver, in this case OpenJUMP has also become it's own Category.
I would like to eliminate this, but the places that I've looked so far
(Settings -> Desktop) don't offer control of this.
I'm using Xfce as a desktop; but this phenomenon also appears in MATE,
Gnome, and Gnome Classic.
Where would I look or what file should I edit?
Much thanks,
