allow .jar uploads
 
I request that jars be added to the file types allowed for uploading. I know I can just rename the file extention but jar is a native java tool and is very handdy for distributing java programs and code.

Re: allow .jar uploads
 
Note that there are no extensions relating to executables on the whitelist. Adding "jar" is equivalent to adding "exe." Jar files use the zip format, but with a different extension and additional metadata. On most Windows systems I've seen they can be run with a double click. If you're intention is to distribute source code, ZIP makes more sense. There's not much utility for posting executables here.
