You need to install java.
This command installs Java on your system:
sudo apt-get install -y openjdk-7-jre openjdk-7-jdk
To run Java applications in your browser:
sudo apt-get install icedtea-plugin
To run Minecraft, you'll need to install Orcale Java:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer

After what DevRobot mentioned you'll want to be sure you're using the right version of Java.
This tutorial might help: How to set default Java version?
java -version
Will tell you which version you're running.
sudo update-alternatives --config java
Will let you select which version of java to use when you have multiple versions installed (open source v. oracle)

to be clear MINECRAFT WORED it was other jar files that was the problem :P Aug 19, 2015 at 21:24
If you already install java, you can try command line to start minecraft.
open the terminal in where the jar file is.
for e.g. my "program.jar" file is in Desktop folder.
cd Desktop
And then execute the command.
java -jar program.jar
