You just need to add the Main-Class: attribute to you manifest specifying the class to execute.
eg.
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: au.com.objects.start.JStar
Created-By: 1.2 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: au.com.objects.start.JStar
Created-By: 1.2 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)

This solution is only available to members.

I use this command:
jar -cmf man.txt prog.jar -C /<program folder> .
This reads from the manifest file man.txt(you can use a path to find the file as /java/prog/man.txt)
the output to file prog.jar
<program folder> this is the folder containing the files to jar
. this means all files in the folder must be added to the jar(you can specify some files as *.class)
The manifest file contents:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: <fully qualified main class name>
jar -cmf man.txt prog.jar -C /<program folder> .
This reads from the manifest file man.txt(you can use a path to find the file as /java/prog/man.txt)
the output to file prog.jar
<program folder> this is the folder containing the files to jar
. this means all files in the folder must be added to the jar(you can specify some files as *.class)
The manifest file contents:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: <fully qualified main class name>
