Public bug reported:

.jar files (or at least minecraft.jar) used to be associated with the
Java runtime environment and could be launched and run just like any
normal executable program. In this release, since the switch to openJDK
as the default, openJDK is not an option to launch .jar files. There is
probably a way around this by launching the selected program with
openJDK from the terminal, but I don't believe this should be necessary,
especially since it is a regression.
