Package: java-common
Version: 0.22
Severity: wishlist
In order to get Java Web Start working properly (with java-package and
everything), I think this package should contain a mime type for
application/x-java-jnlp-file. Files of this type are JNLP launch files, used to
start Java Web Start applications. I have submitted this inclusion upstream to
freedesktop.org for inclusion in their official registry. I do not know how
long this process takes.
In the meantime, I think it would be acceptable if Debian added this mime type.
Doing so involves creating a file /usr/share/mime/packages/java.xml, containing
the contents:
<mime-info xmlns="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info";>
<mime-type type="application/x-java-jnlp-file">
<comment>Java Network Launcher</comment>
<magic priority="80">
<match offset="0:256" type="string" value="<!DOCTYPE jnlp" />
<match offset="0:64" type="string" value="<jnlp" />
</magic>
<glob pattern="*.jnlp" />
</mime-type>
</mime-info>
And adding "update-mime-database /usr/share/mime" to the postinst script.
Addtionally a dependency on "shared-mime-info" should be added, or not.
Thanks for the consideration.
