Package: openjdk-6-jre
Version: 6b24-1.11.1-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
I downloaded a jar file and wanted to run it. I was not able to. I
first tried accessing /usr/share/applications to see if there is
openjdk-6-jre entry but sadly its not. The same for openjdk-7 as well
but that's a different thing.

Anyways, in order to play/use the jar applet I have to run $java -jar
application.jar which is not user-friendly.

Trawling through cyberspace came across this bug #bug=658321 . Can
somebody comment on how and when is this supposed to get fixed ? I
searched the bug database to see if there was a tracking bug or
something for this issue but found nothing hence reporting.
