I forgot to mention that you can install the icons from the JRE package
and get icons associated with the MIME types in GNOME.
I was doing this in my package's debian/rules file:
install/jdk-1.5.0:: prelink-stamp debian/install
# icons for mime types
for theme in hicolor HighContrast{,Inverse} LowContrast; \
do \
for mimetype in {application-java-archive,application-x-java-jnlp-file}; \
do \
target=${DEB_DESTDIR}/usr/share/icons/$$theme/48x48/mimetypes/$$mimetype.png; \
install --mode=644 -D ${UNZIP_DIR}/jre/lib/images/icons/sun-java.png
$$target; \
ln -s $$(basename "$$target") $$(dirname
"$$target")/gnome-mime-$$mimetype.png; \
done; \
done
Basically the idea is to create
"$icon_theme/$size/mimetypes/gnome-mime-$mime.png", where $mime is the
MIME type of the icon with the '/' turned into a '-'.
I had been using the MIME types specified in the obsolete mime-info
files, but I just noticed
that /usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml already contains
definitions for 'application/x-java-jnlp-file' and
'application/x-jar' (*not* 'application/jar'); so I guess you don't have
to bother with the above debian/sharedmimeinfo file after all.
