        Platform: Windows 32-bit
        Build : J2SE 1.4.2 Mantis b-20
        Bundle: j2re.exe
        Location : /java/re/jdk/1.4.2/promoted/beta/b20/bundles/windows-i586

        reproduced in : Win XP-Home, Windows 2000 Pro

        Steps to reproduce:
        1. select a clean windows machine without any JRE/SDK.
        2. open registry editor and make sure the following entry does not exist.

        [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jar]
        @="jarfile"

        3. Install mantis b20 JRE/SDK bundle.
        4. After installation completes, go to registry editor and check for the following key.

        [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jar]
        @="jarfile"

        It doesnt get created. But the following key is created by the installer.

        [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\jarfile\shell\open\command]
        @="\"C:\\Program Files\\Java\\j2re1.4.2\\bin\\javaw.exe\" -jar \"%1\" %*"

        5. Double clicking on any jar demo file does not execute that.

        Checked in mantis b08, b14, b16, b18, b19. This problem is observed in all of them.

        This is a REGRESSION from J2SE 1.4.1 Hopper.
