Bug Description

* Impact:
Java JAR files are opened in file-roller instead of Java Runtime Environment

* Steps to reproduce:
Install JRE, for example Oracle Java7
In File manager (nautilus) click on Jar file, for example download Minecraft.jar file from https://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/launcher/Minecraft.jar

Actual result:
minecraft.jar file is opened in file-roller instead of Java Runtime Environment (but Java Runtime Environment can be choosed by right-click->Open With->Java7 Runtime)

Expected result:
.jar file should be opened in Java Runtime

* Regression potential:
verify that clicking on java types in nautilus works as it should

Thank you for your bug report, dropping the lines isn't exactly correct since without a default any of the handlers can be used. Which means that for e.g "application/x-java-archive", file-roller could still be used.

I'm doing an upload with uses openjdk-7-java.desktop as default for those
