You know actually now that you mention it, I think that it should. I'm
wondering if perhaps there is something wrong with the mime type and/or
gnome-mime-database. I checked the permissions for the jar Javascore.jar
file and it is registered as 'application/x-java-archive' and set to
allow executing as a program. And in /usr/share/mime/globs I do show:
application/x-java-archive:*.jar so I'm not sure what the problem is at
this point.
