get virtualbox and a linux distro with a GUI as a starting point so you dont accidentally execute it

As long as you don't actually run the jar file you "should" be safe. But like Xorium said, for added safety do everything in a virtual machine (or even better, a different computer that you don't care about and that's not connected to the internet).
If it's obfuscated, you will need to deobfuscate it somehow. Either manually or using a tool if there is one.

A quick way to spin up a virtual machine is to use windows sandbox. It does require windows pro or registry hacks to enable, but it's a convenient built-in temporary VM
