main class not found

[abhijit]

i want to develop jar file of my application..

i have set the main class of jar file in Manifest.txt file
I have created a jar file using command:

jar cf Bluetooth.jar Manifest.txt javaapplication10.Bluetooth.class

(javaapplication10) is the name of package..

after this when i try to execute the jar file using command:
>>java -jar Bluetooth.jar


it is throwing the exception as:
NoClassDefination Found

please let me know what is problem with this.
is i'm missing any step of jar creation?

quite possibly the class you have placed into the jar file has a dependency on another class that is not included into the jar file.

For example, if I create a jar file that depends on the commons-logging or log4j (has a local reference to the logger component) then my classpath needs to include those third party jar files.

For the jar to run with java -jar, in addition to specifying the Main-Class attribute, you can also set a Class-Path attribute, which should be a relative path to the location of the other dependent jar files.

Thank u very much 4 ur help.
but i'm still having the same problem.
Now I'm having two text files viz., Manifest.txt and Manifest1.txt

contents of Manifest.txt are:
Main-Class: BluetoothServiceDiscovery.class

contents of Manifest1.txt are:
Class-Path: avetanaObex.jar bluecove.jar BlueCoveJSR82.jar

now i've created the jar file using the following command
jar cfv blue.jar Manifest.txt Manifest1.txt BluetoothServiceDiscovery.class

it is creating the jar file properly.by giving the following o/p on command prompt:
added manifest
adding: Manifest.txt(in = 59) (out= 46)(deflated 22%)
adding: Manifest1.txt(in = 60) (out= 54)(deflated 10%)
adding: BluetoothServiceDiscovery.class(in = 11342) (out= 5852)(deflated 48%)


but when i try to run the blue.jar file using following command:
java -jar blue.jar

it's showing the same error:
Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from blue.jar


Please let me know what is problem?
