Mintpup users need to install Java 8 from Oracle.

There is a ppa :

$sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java -y

Then :

apt update and apt oracle-java8-installer

On Ubuntu derivatives, oracle-java8-set-default will be installed in the installation process. It automatically set up the Java 8 environment variables.

java -version will show version in terminal :

java version "1.8.0_121"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_121-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 25.121-b13, mixed mode)

Now you are ready to open PhotoCollageForge in Mintpup with :
java -jar filename.jar
