Manifest problems

[Stephen Black]

Having trouble with jar file manifests
I type >Java -jar 17PackAndSend.jar
and i get the error "Could not find or load main class 17PackAndSend.jar"

The manifest is as follows
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: 17PackAndSend.Packin

Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.8.3
Created-By: 1.7.0_10-b18 (Oracle Corporation)

I am out of ideas on this one I even changed the name of the classes folder to match the jar file name all to no avail

Well, for starters:
Main-Class: 17PackAndSend.Packin
looks bad to me because Java class (and package) names are not allowed to start with numbers.

There should be a carriage return after you specify the Main-Class : <class name> inside your Manifest file. Provide that, make the jar again, and try executing it. Let me know what happens.
