Description

Files allows users to browse the contents of a .jar file just like a .zip archive. However, double-clicking any file inside the archive does nothing.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Set a default application to open .class files (e.g., Notepad).
  2. Download yamlbeans-1.17.jar.
  3. Open yamlbeans-1.17.jar using Files, navigate to the com\esotericsoftware\yamlbeans directory, and double-click any .class file.
