I've just setup binfmt_misc to execute jar files regardless of extension. I have an ITP on a package to do this (#423081) and wondered A. if this is something which people think is a good idea and B. what the policy would then be on installing the jars. There are two options I can see, either installing them into /usr/share/java per policy as executable and with the .jar extension and then symlinking them to /usr/bin without an extension; or installing them into /usr/bin directly executable with no extension. Obviously all packages using this would have to depend on jarwrapper. Matt -- Matthew Johnson
