Description Martin Jürgens 2011-10-27 12:03:55 UTC 
Description of problem:
openjdk is missing a handler for .jar files, as is provided in ubuntu and windows. by having a handler, .jar files can be opened by double clicking on them, and it is no longer neccessary to open a terminal and start the .jar file by using it.

This is tricky. I can add the jar doubleclick-launcher, but in case that application will be more sophisticated and will depend on system jar libraries, then this approach will fail. From my point of view the jpackage  way of doing things should be followed (shell script classpath setter and launcher). Please notice that even openjdk6 do not support this approach.
