(didn't see the request for more information, but did see the expiry
notice.  weird.)

"did you mess around with manual symlinks yourself?"
After I attempted to fix the problem with multiple installs of the packages suggested, I made a symlinks in /usr/local/bin/.  I should hope that making a symlink in /usr/local/bin/ would not demolish the /etc/alternatives/ ecosystem.

Upgraded to 12.10 since this bug was filed.  I had four alternatives for '/usr/bin/jar' after upgrading to 12.10.
Wiped them all out, removed the /usr/local/bin/ symlink.  Reinstalled package 'openjdk-7-jdk' and dependencies (not recommendations nor suggestions).

$ update-alternatives --list jar
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/bin/jar

Please mark this issue as obsolete/ already fixed.

Title:
  command 'jar' is missing

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

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
