Hi!
I have a jar (say, JarA), that needs to access another jar's (say, jarB) file... I have a small idea that i should include the path of my jarB in the classpath of my manifest.. but it's not working...
Any suggestions or ideas on how i might be able to go about this?  any help is greatly appreciated!
Many Thanks!!

You can put 'em both in the -classpath. Manifest is for applets and nested jars.

Manifest files are not only for applets and nested jars. You can make an executable jar and let it refer to other jars using the "class-path:" manifest entry.
