Yep, it happens that way when you try to open it by double-clicking. You'll have to open it through the command prompt.
1. Click Start > Run.
2. Type "cmd" (without quotes) and click OK.
3. Type "cd [space] [the location where java is located]" and press "Enter".
Example: "cd C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\bin"
4. Type "java.exe" and press "Enter".
You should now see what you should see without the window closing.

Hello,
Java is a computer programming language. The "Java" that is on your computer is there for running computer programs created using the Java language. There isn't much you can do with Java on your computer (unless you're programming) except use it to run Java based programs.
