[Bug 943172] [NEW] No "open with" for jar files

 

Public bug reported:

I cannot run .jar-files via GUI. If I right click the .jar file >
Properties > “Open With”  there is no "Sun Java 6 Runtime" option to
choose, though I installed openjdk-6-jre. I tryed to purge and
reinstalled the package with no effect. I also tried openjdk-7-jre.
Currently the only possibility to execute the jar file is via terminal.
