Hello,

If you enclose your files in a ZIP archive you will be able to upload them. Take care.

Jonathan,
I just tried to upload a compiled java file (*.class) and that gives the error you mention.
You must upload the source (*.java).
I suspect your windows setting is not to show filename extensions. There are
2 identical filenames, one with extension .class and one with extension .java
To enable viewing of extensions
From windows explorer menu extra->folder options
select tab view
uncheck "hide extension of known filetypes"
click ok
You should now be able to see the filename extensions.

Peter,

I am uploading the source (*.java) file if you look your file have a different MIME type of mine? Why is that? It is not just m to has this problem.

I believe MIME has to do with privacy. Try to relax your privacy settings
in internet options. My privacy settings are set to either minimal or standard.
