I have a recently (last Friday) updated CentOS 4.5 desktop running OOo 2.2 that, since this morning, displays OpenOffice .odt files as application:x-java-archives and has replaced the open office icon on my desktop with the java icon for these files.

This problem is caused by neither CentOS nor OpenOffice but by the recent Java 6 update which has a typo in /usr/share/mime/packages/x-java-archive.xml. To fix this add the missing leading "<" before:

- match type="host16" value="0xcafe" offset="40"/> + <match type="host16" value="0xcafe" offset="40"/>

on or about line 35, save and then update the mime database with:

# update-mime-database /usr/share/mime
