    Attachment: FELIX-1179.txt

The attached patch performs a simple check using the JarFile class constructor
new JarFile(filePath)

In my samples it works well. Do you think it is enough, or there are better ways to do that?

> Currently FileInstall recognizes files of two types: .cfg files and .jar files. I know there is already a request to have a plugin mechanism in FileInstall to support different kinds of file types, but that's more of a long term change. In short term, we can modify fileinstall to recognize Jar files by their content instead of going by just file extensions. It will allow us to use files like .war files in watched dir.
