15 Sep 12
Well this is really bothering me, I installed JDK1.7.0_07 but it wont allow me to set it as the default to open jar files. I can run the file but I have to select "Java Runtime Enviroment" every time. Is there any way I could add Java 7u7 to the list of applications to use with JAR files?

If u installed this under /usr/java then make a symbolic link to /usr/bin like:
ln -s /usr/java/jre1.7.0_07/java /usr/bin
