Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (32 & 64 bit) up-to-date
Lubuntu 14.04 LTS (32 & 64 bit) up-to-date

No openjdk-7-java.desktop file at /usr/share/applications

However, jar files are associated to openjdk-7-java.desktop at
/usr/share/applications/defaults.list &
/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache

At Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (32 & 64 bit) up-to-date file openjdk-6-java.desktop
exists.

Workaround. Create  /usr/share/applications/openjdk-7-java.desktop
similar to /usr/share/applications/openjdk-6-java.desktop

The contents should be:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=OpenJDK Java 7 Runtime
Comment=OpenJDK Java 7 Runtime
Exec=cautious-launcher %f /usr/bin/java -jar
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=openjdk-7
MimeType=application/x-java-archive;application/java-archive;application/x-jar;
NoDisplay=true

Title:
  OpenJDK 8 Apt-Get Install Doesn't Generate openjdk-8-java.desktop File

Status in openjdk-7 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in openjdk-8 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu Release: 15.04 Vivid Vervet

  Version of Package: 8u45-b14-1

  What I Expected to Happen: I expected that in order to install Java on my system, I could simply run:
  sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre OR sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk
  I also expected that it would automatically generate a .desktop file inside of /usr/share/applications in order to set OpenJDK as the default way of opening .JAR files.

  What Happened Instead: Java installs just fine. However, if I try to set OpenJDK as the default for opening .JAR files, there is no entry for OpenJDK in the "Default Applications" list (under Right Click > Properties > Open With). That meant that I had to manually navigate to /usr/share/applications in Terminal and manually create an openjdk-8-java.desktop file containing:
  [Desktop Entry]
  Name=OpenJDK Java 8 Runtime
  Comment=OpenJDK Java 8 Runtime
  Exec=java -jar %u
  Terminal=false
  Type=Application
  Icon=openjdk-8
  Mimetype=application/x-java-archive;application/java-archive;application/x-jar;
  NoDisplay=false
