I have a java app in .jar format. When I type "sudo aptitude install java" and hit tab twice I get LOADS of options. Does anybody know what I need to install to run this?

Re: What to install to run java (.jar) app?
Thanks for the reply - that helped. I did have restricted extras installed (one of the first things I did) but the problem was that when I clicked the file in Dolphin it loaded it into Ark, and I just saw a list of component files. Thanks to your telling me I have Java installed I tried to chmod +x the file and run it from the command line, which worked. Ta.Comment
