Answer 1

You can make a .desktop file for Java:

1. Create a file called java.desktop
2. Open java.desktop in a text editor
3. Add this in your java.desktop file:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Java
Exec=java -jar %f
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Utility;Application;

4. Install that java.desktop file with the command sudo desktop-file-install java.desktop Now you can right-click on the .jar file and choose to open it with Java.
