Finding main class problem

[Sam Bluesman]

Hi.

I have a set of files in a package called samspackage in a project called Application. This contains a class file with the main method in it called Program

I have set the main class as samspackage.Program

However, when I try to double click on the jar file Application.jar, found in the dist folder of the project's home directory Application, I get the following message:

Could not find the main class. Program will exit.

I can not see why this is so because my manifest file looks like this:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.6.5
Created-By: 1.6.0_01-b06 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Main-Class: snpviewerpackage.Program
Class-Path: lib/JavaClient lib/swing-layout-1.0.jar
X-COMMENT: Main-Class will be added automatically by build


with two blank lines underneath the last line.

Any ideas?

Thanks

So if you say "jar tf Application.jar", do you see a line like

samspackage/Program.class

[Sam Bluesman]

amongst others yes.

In addition, I have other Program classes:

samspackage/Program$1.class
samspackage/Program$2.class
samspackage/Program$3.class
samspackage/Program$4.class
samspackage/Program$5.class
samspackage/Program$6.class
samspackage/Program$7.class

Hi Ernest.

I've figured it out. I had a package placed where it should not have been.

All works fine.

Thanks.
