Bah, just tried and it looks like they all get JARs screwed up.
Stupid browsers.

They don't. A jar is a zip archive.

It's an
executable
zip file.
A browser's default behaviour should be treating it as an executable, because people that know/care they are zip files (the minority) will know how to override that behaviour, whilst people that don't will get all confused.

* The browser should choose what to do based on what the server says the file is.

Well, if there's different content types to specify that, then yeah.
(And, if it hasn't explicitly been set by the uploader, the default behaviour should again be to determine if its an executable JAR and act accordingly.)

my browser (IE8) did detect it and act accordingly - maybe spinningplates has buggered about with some settings or installed some software that hijacked the .jar extension?
