[eclipse-mirrors] Java JAR files containing .php in the URL may be broke

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

Greetings mirror maintainers,

It's come to my attention that some JAR files on our site contain ".php" 
in them. On some mirror sites, Apache treats these JAR files as a PHP 
script instead of prompting the user for a download. 
download.eclipse.org was configured this way as well.

To see if your mirror is one of the "broken" ones, you can try to 
download org.eclipse.php.core_0.1.4.jar from your mirror site using this 
list:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/tools/php/updates/plugins/org.eclipse.php.core_0.1.4.jar&protocol=http

The fix for this is to add the following line to your /etc/mime.types 
file, and restart Apache:

application/java-archive        jar



If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly

Thanks for being an Eclipse mirror site!

Denis
