Basically, Linux permits you to register new executable types and how the executable is started. It's trivial to register jars as an executable type and have it 'java -jar' the jar if you set the executable bit on it.
This has the advanatage that the jar file with the executbale bit follow all of the same semantics as regular executables (including the use of the execute bit to differentiate them from non-executable jars).

here is my version of it:
[Desktop Entry]
ServiceTypes=application/x-jar
Actions=runjar
[Desktop Action runjar]
Name=Run Java Archive
Name[de]=Java-Archiv ausführen
Name[fr]=Exécuter l'archive Java
Icon=source_java
Exec=java -jar %f
nicer icon and other description!
btw, you can put it into your Home, instead of installing it as root:
~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/

(the command you want is of course: "java -jar")

I am wondering why this method is not more popular (why isn't it default, why is nobody writing that kind of .desktop file instead of service menus?)
