Public bug reported:

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

     <glob pattern="*.jar"/>
     <magic priority="85">
       <match type="string" value="PK\003\004" offset="0">

+       <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.
