[SOLVED]Can"t find 'OpenJDK Java 11 Runtime' in 'Open with'

Just installed 'default-jre' in apt, but when trying to open a .jar program file, there is nothing in the list of 'Known Applications' that hints to Java.

How are you trying to "open" the .jar file? I usually do this via terminal:
1. Launch konsole (terminal)
2. Navigate to your .jar file's path, right-click on a blank space and select "open terminal here".
3. In the terminal run this:

java -jar file_name.jar

It's always worked for me.

Hope this helps!

Synaptic has OpenJDK Runtime already installed and other packages are available as well.

Yes it did. Strangely it worked only over terminal, when I choose GUI context menu point 'Open with...' (Konqueror), it only flashes a terminal window in response and nothing further happens.

Good to know, thanks!

Konqueror is pretty strange

Browser or file manager? File manager is pretty good but the browser is completely hopeless and simply too far behind to be of any value.
