getting an error while executing jar file

[budsy remo]

i am getting an error which says Could not find the main Class : AGame.System will exit


here's how i created the jar file : jar vcfe app.jar AGame *.class

the jar file is created and then when i double click or run : javaw -jar app.jar

it gives the specified error

Did you set the application's Entry point?

[budsy remo]

yea it was AGame
i specified in the command itself . But still how do i specify it since i think i specied in the command as jar vcfe app.jar AGame *.class . Is that not the command?

Can you cut-n-paste the error (hopefully with stack trace) that you got?

Are you using the fully-qualified name of the AGame class? Have you got a new line at the very end of the file?

. . . and I see from the Java™ Tutorials that there is a new way to set the entry point for a .jar. It's at the bottom of the page.
