How do I use GitHub releases to upload a JAR file? Attempts to upload a JAR result in a message that ZIP files, among others are supported. JAR files are ZIP files, just with a different extension, of course.I see that some people have uploaded JAR files directly into repos; is this a work-around?For example, there is a JAR file at: https://github.com/uklance/releases/tree/master/org/lazan/tapestry-offline/0.0.1And, yet, GET /repos/:uklance/:releases/releases reveals no releases.See also this Web Apps question.Although GitHub does support upload of binaries, that answer is probably out of date.The message is:Unfortunately, we dont support that file type. Try again with a PNG, GIF, JPG, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, TXT, PDF, or ZIP. It seems to be same problem as here: Can't upload APK to Github releases
