java -jar JabRef-3.8.2.jar (I have this in a script which is invoked from a menu item. Have even scraped a JabRef icon!) Minor gotcha: Don't know about Mint 18.1 but you need java 8; the openjdk version on Mint 17.3 is 7. Try: java -version If that says "1.7" you need to look at http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2015/01/install-openjdk-8-ubuntu-14-04-12-04-lts/ (or similar) to install the correct java version.
