This *is* the problem and the solution!

After installing the Java 6 RPM on Fedora Core (jdk-1.6.0-fcs), Nautilus
prints the following error when you try to open an OpenOffice document:
The filename "Report.sxw" indicates that this file is of type
"OpenOffice Writer". The contents of the file indicate that the file is
of type "Java Archive". If you open this file, the file might present a
security risk to your system.
This is because the file /usr/share/mime/packages/x-java-archive.xml
that is created by the Java RPM is broken.
To fix it, add a "<" in front of the second "match" tag:
--- x-java-archive.xml.orig 2006-12-24 14:47:05.000000000 +0100
+++ x-java-archive.xml 2006-12-25 11:57:03.000000000 +0100

+ <match type="host16" value="0xcafe" offset="40" />
</match>
</magic>
</mime-type>
Then run the following command:
update-mime-database /usr/share/mime
Log out and log in again to restart Nautilus. I didn't even have to
reboot for all to be well.
Thanks for the amazing solution from out of the blue!
