Anyway, a separate application -- a real application, not a script -- could do the trick of running a JAR. However, that is really only a solution for this situation. There are similar ones that have the same issue.What is missing in Haiku is an option to associate a file type with a command line instead of a preferred application. For JAR files one would simply set "java -jar %f". This would also be a solution for all file types where the handling application would actually be a script.
Agreed, but I'm not familiar enough with Registrar to try and modify it to support this...
The procedure is: 1. rc to resource file, 2. use resattr to add the resources as attributes. However, then you have the usual application attributes on a script, but I believe that doesn't help you with setting the script as a preferred application for a file type. I'm fairly sure BMimeType and/or BRoster check that the file is actually an application.I see. What about Xicon, then? Pete, would you care to donate the source code for integration with Haiku?
