[Bug 309778] Re: KDE always associates *.jar with the zip mime type

2009-09-17 Thread James Stansell
OK, the spec http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/jar/jar.html says "A JAR file is essentially a zip file that contains an optional META-INF directory." So the META-INF directory may not always exist. Also, I couldn't find any mention in the spec (or other docs from sun) of file mag

2009-09-17 Thread James Stansell
I haven't looked at the jar spec lately, but it should be a safe assumption that all jar files have a META-INF folder. I don't think you can assume a fixed location for it though. Also, this report seems to be focused on so-called 'executable' jar files, which have the distinction of defining a M

2008-07-10 Thread James Stansell
Alfas, the only java plugin available for 64-bit systems is icedtea- gcjwebplugin. Some applets work, but it's not surprising if the ones you are interested in don't work. The only option currently available, as far as I know, is to run a hybrid 32bit system. I haven't done that myself, but the

If you install openjdk-6 (6b08-0ubuntu1) in hardy (and possibly icedtea- gcjwebplugin) and use it instead of the sun-java6 is the problem fixed? Recent updates in the openjdk package include: * Install a wrapper script for javaws, which calls `javaws -viewer' if no arguments are given (or el

I can confirm this bug (Ubuntu 7.04). Even though it doesn't normally put my password in full view my typing is likely to go where it's not intended which is bad in several ways. I would expect this dialog to grab the keyboard so the typing doesn't go anywhere else (either maliciously or accident

I'm seeing this bug with 6.06.1 LTS. Track times are incorrect in Rhythmbox, Serpentine and Cowbell. The first 2 showed exactly the same "way off" duration, but Cowbell was only a little off. Track times for Banshee, VLC, Totem and Nautilus properties seem fine. (The command I used was audio/x-
