jar files

[JavaDude32]

Well considering I've never used these before now...

How you do make a class the main executable class in a jar file? I'm trying to bundle an application of mine with about 10 classes into 1 jar file and have it run that way, but it is giving me the error on execution about there not being a main class.

Thanks for any help.

You need to create a manifest file for the jar. It's a text file and you will put a Main-Class entry in it like so:

Main-Class: MyClass

All the details are here

hope this helps
