Simple and to the point talk.
But my friend you are missing that beside all this one shall have to select the checkbox for ‘Allow executing file as program’ on the ‘Permissions’ tab. Only then a ‘.jar’ file will run by double clicking on it, otherwise it will open in Archive Manager for content browsing.
This is my personal experience on linuxmint 10 Julia!!

Thank you for the info. Just also want to share this other way of opening JAR files. See this http://openjarfile.com

I do not have a radio button for java 6, but I have installed sun java. How do I get the radio button, or what is the command for a custom command (I know where it’s installed to, but I don’t know what file I need to use)?
