[SOLVED] java not working

Hi all and good new year!!!

pacman -Qs java
local/ca-certificates-java 20130815-1
local/icedtea-web-java7 1.4.1-1
local/jre7-openjdk 7.u45_2.4.3-1
local/jre7-openjdk-headless 7.u45_2.4.3-1
local/js 17.0.0-1

when I try to execute .jar file the answer is: sudo: jar: command not found

[blackswan@localhost /]$ which jar
which: no jar in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/core_perl)
What can I do?

Re: [SOLVED] java not working

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think you want to run "jar", but java.  jar is the file ending of a java byte code file, not how you execute a java file.

It's a bit lengthy, but this is how you could run a piece of java code in linux.

Let me know if you encounter any issues.

sudo jar xf unixmacosx.jar

Aaah, ok.

This is a better resource:
