You need to give it the executable bit.

Run this command in terminal (ctrl+alt+t):

sudo chmod +x yourfle.jar

Then you can run it normally with:

java -jar yourfile.jar

Type in the terminal:

sudo chmod +x file.jar

This should fix the problem.

Why would you post the exact same answer that I did? – You'reAGitForNotUsingGit Jun 01 '16 at 18:08

I didn't! I just knew the answer to the problem. I typed my answer. Posted it, the page refreshed and then I saw your post. I didn't mean to copy you. – Jun 01 '16 at 18:10
Understood. Although a banner should have popped up that said "A new answer has been posted" or something to that effect. – You'reAGitForNotUsingGit Jun 01 '16 at 18:11

Although the terminal version already posted is easier for completeness sake, you can also right click the .jar in a file explorer go to Permissions and select allow executing file as program.
