How to execute .jar file? (found solution)

I downloaded the tonicpoint viewer for pps (i dont want to install OOo just for pps) and it comes as a .jar that claims to be executable in most environments, but when i double click on it i'm asked what program to be used to open it? trying to execute it from the terminal also fails with a permission denied (user or root). i'm unfamiliar with .jar, can anyone help? thanks

Well, in case someone else is looking for it:

java -jar PROGRAM

... and please add [solved] to the thread title. Thank you.
