This is the detailed configuration that should be added automatically as a .desktop file.

This is possible by adding a .desktop file adherent to the XDG specs.

This is not as good idea as that. Because only jar files that specify their classpath and main class can be auto-executed.

Also, executing jar files by default is a security risk, since it is another executable that can be vector of infection. The additional step for the user to download the file and then run java -jar means that they know what they are doing.

For people that really need that, it is possible to do that configuration by themselves as you mentioned in your screenshots.
