$ mc 
Press "Enter" on file jsr250-api-1.0.jar


---- What is the expected output?
VFS panel (contents of jar as folder).

---- What do you see instead? 
Nothing happens

---- OBS
As commented in ticket 2735, this is probably due to broken Maven Archive plugin, 
but it is unlikely they will fix all those "broken" jars, since they
work ok with java and some jars can be even signed (redhat/jboss I think).
And mc is a -very handy- tool for working with those jars :-).
That's why I'm making this ticket.
