Question Java won't show up as an option to open a .jar file

[wishyaluckk]

I have Java installed, and I try to install a .jar file off of Chrome, but every time it installs, it uses Internet Explorer instead of Java. I try to associate .jar files with Java, but it only shows Internet Explorer as an option.

jar files are Java applications. they don't open in a browser. On top of that, most modern browsers do not support Java anymore.

Open command prompt, and from there execute "java -jar myapp.jar"
