If you install sun-java6-jre, the option "Open With Sun Java 6 Runtime"
should be available for .jar files. 

Then it's just a matter of telling the file launcher system to use that
instead of the archiver. Just right click on any jar file, select
Properties, and go to "Open With." Switch the radio button from "Archive
Manager" to "Sun Java 6 Runtime" and it should be done.
