jar problems
Hi
I'm trying to create a jar file which includes two jar-packages and contains a main class.
The manifest file that I have created is:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: esi
Main-Class: main.PrislisteMain
Class-Path: "ext_jars/jt400Native.jar"
But when I run jar... the Class-Path is ignored and the manifest file in the jar looks like this:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: esi
Main-Class: main.PrislisteMain
When I try to run the jar I get: "Could not find the main class"
I'm sure that I'm pointing to the right mainClass-file, and the external jars are included when I pack my jar.
If anyone has any idea, please help
Thanks in advance

Did you put those 2 other .jars INSIDE your primary .jar? That's not right,
you can merge them or keep them apart, but you can't put a .jar inside another .jar!

>looks like your " don't match
I see that now, but I've tried earlier wihtout the "'s and that did'nt work either. My main class file is located correctly
But I got it to work, I added two blank lines at the end of my manifest file and it worked!!!
Do you have an idea of why you need that?
Anyway, I'm splitting the points between objects and girionis for quick answers and trying to help, and when I don't post the correct manifest file, it's not easy to see what the real problem is :)

The extra lines at the bottom of a manifest are mandatory, but not explained by SUN (as far as I know).
I think it's a (small) bug or some future reservation in java.
