Simple answer to Mile Throw Javelin
its affinitiy is combat, and it works on a Javelin (ignore descriptive terms), so it is a magic that augments or adds an edge to a javelin in combat.
HW is an abstraction so the feat is now handled by the rules. We don't need to know any more.
Slightly more complex answer to Mile Throw Javelin
The 'Mile Throw' keyword we ignored above. We want to use the colour. Throwing at range halves the target number and provides an upper distance limit, so the feat should improve the target number not the result. Thus we rule it is an augmentation feat for use with a javelin not an edge.
Probably the best level to view it at.
Additional layers of complexity
Maximum range is now 1 mile. However the target number still halves with each multiple of range (you can throw for distance, but you will either need a few masteries with Ranged Combat(Javelin) or with 'Mile Thriw Javelin' to hit anything.
