Java doesn’t work on Catalina

I installed Catalina a few days ago now java doesn’t even work. I tried to use a .jar file for something and it doesn’t give me an option to open with Java. Is there a way to fix this?

If you were using Apple's legacy Java 6, it is 32-bit.

You'll need to download a JDK from Oracle.
