Hi gidones,
�Failed to load Main-Class mainfest attribute from jarName.jar�
That probably means that you don't have a main class declared in the manifest. Inside the jar file (which is only a zip file with a different extension) there is a directory META-INF and in that directory, there should be a file named MANIFEST.MF. In that file are contained attributes for the jar file. For a jar to be executable, there must be Main-Class attribute. Here is an example of what a MANIFEST.MF file might look like:
That would work if MyClass were in the default (undeclared) package. If it were in say myPackage.main then our manifest would look like this:
Hope this helps,
Michael Morris
