[eclipse-mirrors] Mime-type for JAR files

["Eclipse WebMaster (Denis Roy)" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings,

We're running into a problem where some mirrors are trying to execute 
JAR files that contain *.php* in the filename as a PHP file, instead of 
offering the JAR file for download.

The easy fix is to make sure .jar is defined in your /etc/mime.types file:

# cat /etc/mime.types | grep jar
application/x-java-archive jar ear war

To see if you're affected, you can try downloading the JAR from your 
mirror listed here:

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/tools/pdt/updates/plugins/org.eclipse.php_0.2.5.jar&protocol=http

If you've changed your /etc/mime.types file, you may need to 
HUP/reload/kick Apache.

Thanks!

Denis
