Bug Description
When a user downloads a .jar executable file, he expects it to be opened with java runtime in order to execute it. Default behavior is to open it with File Roller, which is annoying for experienced users and confuses new users, who don't know what is happening or what to do in order to execute the file.
I suggest changing this behavior so that the file is executed by default.

I agree that this should be the default behavior, but it's probably not a paper cut since so few users run jars.
