I can confirm that /usr/share/applications/sun-java6.desktop has
'application/x-jar' in its list of MimeTypes.

I like Scott Ritchie's suggestion to use a loader that determines what to do. 
Maybe we could create one loader for .jar-archives, Windows applications and 
other similar file types.
Should there be tasks opened for the other Java VMs as well? It would seem 
correct to me since we are moving away from Sun to OpenJDK, but I'm not sure.

** Package changed: nautilus (Ubuntu) => sun-java6 (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: sun-java6 (Ubuntu)
