Description Forgotten User uWNQn8RHbv 2016-05-31 22:11:32 UTC 
.jar files should be opened with java -jar by default in all the Desktop environments instead of Ark (as a simple compressed file).

Even the simple option to "open with Java" cannot be used without typing java -jar, because Openjdk 7 and 8 dont create .desktop files in /usr/share/applications, as Openjdk 6 do (openjdk-6-java.desktop).

The same bug has found in Ubuntu, more information at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/desktop-file-utils/+bug/1474379

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