I posted about a week ago, on this problem, and still im having problems. Just trying to create an executable jar file. This is what im doing. At the command line I'm typing:
jar cvfm package.jar manifest.mf "C:\mydocuments\Messenger"
my manifest file looks exactly like this: Main-Class: mainClass.java
yet when i run the executable jar file, it sais it cannot find the main class? what am i doing wrong? Thanks in advance for the help.

As Jeff says, the class name is what goes in the "Main-Class" line. Also note that the jar file itself must contain the compiled *.class file; the *.java file is no use here.
