“I have a Blu-Ray folder and I've tried opening the BDMV file in it with VLC but it doesn't open it properly, displaying a menu and all that Jazz. Instead, it seems it just parses that file to play everything inside it willy nilly, choking on JAR files and other stuff.”
If you can’t play Bluray BDMV folder in VLC, you should make sure you use the "open BDMV folder" function in the open panel, and you need to choose the upper folder which contains the bdmv folder (with VLC 2.1.3). Still failing? Maybe because VLC bluray support is still rather experimental. And your Blu-ray producer just make it harder to play its discs.
