Java in Wine isnt very stable, nor reliable. What program are you trying to run that requires Java? – The Lord of Time Mar 29 '12 at 15:05
Normally Wine is a Windows emulator, and you have java already installed. It sounds very strange to me that you need the .exe and the java together and running in linux ubuntu – jmolinaso Mar 29 '12 at 15:15
I want to run Minecraft Thailand. Minecraft Thailand is a server. We need to download the EXE file to play on the server. – user52583 Mar 30 '12 at 9:30

You do not need wine to run the Minecraft launcher on Ubuntu, just do the following

  1. Download and save the jar file from the Minecraft website.
    https://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftDownload/launcher/minecraft.jar
  2. Install "OpenJDK Java 7" from the Software center.
  3. Locate the .jar file and go to the permissions tab in the properties.
  4. Click "allow executing file as program".
  5. Go to the "Open With" tab and set "OpenJDK Java 7 Runtime" as default.
  6. Click the jar file, and you can start playing minecraft on Ubuntu  : )
