Exception in thread "main"

[Joanne Ho]

I test my program on NetBeans IDE4.1 by calling "Run"->"Run File"->"Run JEMQInterface.java". It runs perfectly ok.

Since NetBeans will automatically built a jar file for my program at the "./dist" directory under my project directory i.e. "c:\JEMQInterface", I tried to run the jar file without using NetBeans by executing the following at command prompt:
>java JEMQInterface

Then it failed to run and produce the exception.

Could anyone help. Thanks.

To run a jar file, you should type
java -jar JEMQInterface.jar

There's something wrong with the directory structure in your JAR file. You have a "package JEMQInterface;" statement in your source file, but the class file is in the root inside the JAR file, instead of in a subdirectory JEMQInterface.
