hi
iv exported a project as a runnable jar file, but when i try to run it it shows a class not found exception...

-jar HTTPserver
-com
-HTTPserver
-HTTPserver.class
-META-INF
-manifest file

manifest file details->

Manifest version 1.1
Class-Path: .
Main Class: com.HTTPserver.HTTPserver

the full error is:

Are you sure that HTTPServer class is exists in the correct package?

[shwein]

yes, its in the package, i ve checked it many times.
"classpath = . " should i give in a absolute path in the manifest file?
i also tried running it with the -classpath(absolute path) flag, but that also results in the same error.
I find it very strange...
