Creating a jar file from the command line

[leo donahue]

I have a swing based application in a package called moiveJava2. My moment interval class, WindowGUIMI, has one main method which instantiates the rest of the application from another class called WindowGUI.
I have created a manifest file called MovieJava2.MF which has one line equal to:
Main-Class: WindowGUIMI //plus a carriage return
My dos command lines thus far have been:
C:\java_programs\MovieJava>jar cvf MovieJava2.jar movieJava2\*
C:\java_programs\MovieJava>jar cmf MovieJava2.MF MovieJava2.jar movieJava2\*.class
When I double click on the jar file I get a JVM Launcher error dialog which says: "Could not find the main class. Program will exit".
What have I done wrong here?

how about trying to change your Main class def'n to:
Main-Class: moiveJava2.WindowGUIMI //plus carriage return
so it specifies the fully qualified class name of your application?
