Bug Description

I cannot run .jar-files via GUI. If I right click the .jar file > Properties > “Open With” there is no "Sun Java 6 Runtime" option to choose, though I installed openjdk-6-jre. I tryed to purge and reinstalled the package with no effect. I also tried openjdk-7-jre. Currently the only possibility to execute the jar file is via terminal.
