Hi Zhao - the -jar flag only works for the desktop application (created with 'ant makedist').
For the jalview applet, you need to launch it via an html page opened in a browser or via the appletviewer. Which version are you interested in running ? the Jalview desktop (v2.8.0b1) is already available in debian unstable. I'm not sure when 2.8.1 will make it in there - it depends on one of our friendly packagers (or me) having some time to spare!
