How to open a .jar file in Linux! [Tutorial]

In this video I will show you how to open a .jar file in Linux as the title says.
It's very simple to do.

Put your .jar file on the Desktop.

Right click and choose: "Open Terminal Here"

Type in (or copy this into the terminal):

If your file name is easy to forget: Right click your .jar file, go to rename, copy all of the text and paste it into the terminal.

The easiest way to get a path, file or directory name in the console is autocomplete, mate.

Hey does this work in centos 9, also do i have to do this every single time, thanks btw.

thank you so much it worked on solus linux ;)

Thanks. Also you might need to mention that you may need quotation marks if the file name has spaces. Like java -jar "File name.jar". Mine unfortunately didn't work because I need Linux 64-bit for my .jar file to work.
