what the title says. I have openjdk6 and icedtea installed, but I do not have the option to run a .jar archive as an executable. jre (or whatever the package name is) would. What gives? Am I missing a package? Is the functionality simply not there?

Not sure what you mean (java is not my forte) but maybe the .jar file has to be made executable w/ chmod?
Post how you try to run it and what's the output.

It's flagged as executable in the properties window. I'm just running it in gnome. with JRE installed there was an option to run it as an executable in the right-click menu.

All jar files are not executable as they don't have a main method... Have you tried with the command line, with java -jar yourjar.jar ?

Can you try to run it from a console / terminal?
