Based on these instructions run the following terminal commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-set-default

Verify the installation like so:

rahul@tecadmin:~$ java -version

java version "1.8.0_74"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_74-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.74-b02, mixed mode)

Run Jar

First we must make the .jar file runnable. Either right click the .jar file, go to properties and set the checkbox "allow executing file as program".
Or alternatively run the following at the terminal: sudo chmod +x jpad.jar
Try double clicking on the jar file.
Its not working from the GUI let's try the command line:
1. Make sure you have Java installed on your system. Check this by typing java -version into the command terminal.
2. At the command terminal type java -jar jpad.jar while in the same directory as jpad.jar

$ls -ltr
