Bug Description

Removed due to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=658321

----------------------------------------------------------

in oneiric, if your rightclick on a *.jar there is an option to open with java
now on 1204 there isnt an option for ojre6 & 7. after a little research its clear now that the file
/usr/share/applications/openjdk-6-java.desktop is missing ( for openjdk7
/usr/share/applications/openjdk-7-java.desktop too)

now you always have to open a terminal. please restore the missing file

.desktop files from oneiric modified for precise and openjdk 7

its not perfect, because i dont know how to make it the default handler automatically.

so you have to go to file properties, mark openjdk java 7 runtime and press set as default button

I too would like to see this fixed. I would like to be able to launch minecraft without the need for opening a terminal.

Not related to the bug, but to Britt Yazel for Minecraft there is an install script, that create a menu entry http://code.google.com/p/mineubinst/downloads/list maybe this will help

but youre right - open a jar just like a zip is a nogo for 12.04

Unfortunately, these files aren't compatible with multiarch and a better solution is needed.

So its just because the path in the *.desktop file isnt "multiarchable"? So why not create a *.desktop file without any fixed path, add them to the source package and create the path at packagebilding-time and write them to the *.desktop?

This bug seems to be fixed. I am now able to right click on .jar files like I used to and launch them with java runtime
