    Can't set a .jar file to open with java or openjdk

    I've been having a lot of problems with this. I have all of the software I need as far as I know and the .jar file works flawless on windows. I go to open with on the file (which has execute as program enabled) and there is no open with java run time or openjdk. I tried to run it with run software and nothing happens. I've tried doing java -jar [jar file name] and I just get this:

    I've literally downloaded almost every java package on the installer with the hopes something would work, but nope. Please tell me what I am missing installation wise or please tell me how I can open this .jar file with jre or openjdk. Thanks in advance.

    java -version results
    java version "1.7.0_79"

    Ok so I ran the command 'dpkg --configure -a' and deleted and redownloaded the .jar file and now the command java -jar [jarfile name] works perfectly to open it. I hope this helps someone in the future ^.^

    @Thank you rAWjAW for allowing me to post this question, although I didn't receive any responses it gave me the motivation to keep messing around with it while I waited xD.
