Can run jar from command line but not from shell script + permission denied

Question

why can't I run a jar from a shellscript when double clicking it?

Failed to execute child process "~/start.sh" (Permission denied)

#!/bin/bash
java -jar test.jar

I'm running on Arch linux x64

Not exactly a Java question. – David Conrad May 14 '14 at 20:57 — David Conrad, May 14 '14 at 20:57

Is your script executable?

chmod +x start.sh
