Java .jar files are run by issuing "java -jar $jarfile". I don't know how is this done in nautilus, but I suppose it will be similar to PCManFM, which is: right clic on the file, Open with..., Open with other app and there you can write the command to use (in this case java -jar), and make it use that command for every .jar file.
