So i have been trying to start a minecraft server on my computer just for me to build and create stuff with plugins and maybe put it online in the future. For some reason i am not able to associate .jar files with java like there is no option for it. I have downloaded the latest java to run it but it gives no option just notebook as the only option. Whenever i download .jar files it turns into notepad and that doesn't help me at all. Please help.

What happens when you click the browse button?

It only shows notepad as an option or look in windows store and i looked in the store nothing for java
Do you have Java and/or JavaScript installed for the browser that you are using?

i installed java se 8 i think to run java programs like spigot or like java folders for texture packs or clients
did you actually install java or did you just download the installer
go to programs & features and look & see what java version is listed there
If you have already installed java then you can also run your application through command.
launch cmd (you can find it by searching cmd in start menu search) and change directory (via cd) to where your app is placed or
you can just launch cmd by typing "cmd" in url box of Explorer (folder in which your app is placed) then press Enter a cmd window will popup
here you can check your files by "dir" command it will list all files of current directory.
Now Type this command to launch your .jar file
java -jar yourfilename.jar

if java is installed then it will launch your app.

Good Luck.:)
