.jar files are no longer associated with Java

[Britt Yazel]

.jar files (or at least minecraft.jar) used to be associated with the Java runtime environment and could be launched and run just like any normal executable program. In this release, since the switch to openJDK as the default, openJDK is not an option to launch .jar files. There is probably a way around this by launching the selected program with openJDK from the terminal, but I don't believe this should be necessary, especially since it is a regression.
