How did you unzip a .jar file? I'd think Linux, with Java installed, should run the .jar okay.

Jar files are Java ARchives. A lot of archive managers can open them and examine or extract files contained in the jar. Unfortunately, some such archive managers will grab the jar extension by default (usually you can prevent it). This breaks the association with the JVM, so when you double-click on the jar, the archive is opened by the archive manager. In this case, it's necessary to explicitly run the java -jar command from a shell.

Best Regards,
John.
