jar files are essentially just zips, that's why most unpacking programs register that extension for themself.
To open it with java, you need to open an CLI Session (Alt+F2,cmd.exe,[Enter]) and execute the following:
1
java -jar X:\Path\To\The\File.jar
I'm not sure if Java registers its bin directory for CLI execution, so perhaps you even have to use the whole path for java, too.
