I see the same problem on F-7 as well. The dialogue box reads:

Cannot open 4GLS_article.odt

The filename "4GLS_article.odt" indicates that this file is of type
"ODT document". The contents of the file indicate that the file is of
type "Java Archive". If you open this file, the file might present a
security risk to your system.

Do not open the file unless you created the file yourself, or received
the file from a trusted source. To open the file, rename the file to
the correct extension for "Java Archive", then open the file normally.
Alternatively, use the Open With menu to choose a specific application
for the file.
