Between your and Havard's posts, I was able to fix this quickly and easily. To summarize: 1) Correct the syntax error (missing the initial '<') on line 35 of the file /usr/share/mime/packages/x-java-archive.xml 2) Run the command (as root): update-mime-database /usr/share/mime Hope that helps others looking for a way to fix the problem.
