no dude, in xubuntu to run a jar file with double click the jar has to be executable or you'll get a error window telling you that the file is blocked "is not marked as Executable"... — BGdeveloper, Oct 15 '14 at 13:59

To execute a jar file you need to use the java command. There's lots of information on how to do this available via Google run a jar in linux. But the simplest command is: java -jar jarname.jar

If you want to run it by double clicking How run a .jar file with a double-click? should help.
