There are multiple ways to encapsulate heterogeneous data in documents: application resources (the "res" URL scheme), file archives (jar, zip, shar, tar, whatever). Of those possibilities, MIME is most Web-friendly IMHO, although the downside is that the transmitted resource grows. This should not be a problem for small resources and using it for big resources does not gain you anything, so you just get it as a separate file. And, as has been previously discussed, "jar" is not a protocol, it is a content type.
