Title:
  command 'jar' is missing

Status in “openjdk-7” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  the apt-* tools thinks the command 'jar' can be found in the
  openjdk-7-jdk package...

  moses@deunan:~$ jar
  The program 'jar' can be found in the following packages:
   * openjdk-6-jdk
   * fastjar
   * gcj-4.4-jdk
   * gcj-4.6-jdk
   * gcj-4.5-jdk
   * openjdk-7-jdk
  Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>

  ... but it does not get added to the normal $PATH when installed.

  moses@deunan:~$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
  openjdk-7-jdk is already the newest version.
  moses@deunan:~$ which jar || echo "** not found"
  ** not found
  moses@deunan:~$ dpkg -L openjdk-7-jdk |grep /jar$
  /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/bin/jar
