Executable JAR

[bugger]

I have a package and want to create executable JAR for it.

Please advice. Any reference tutorial will be highly appreciated.

You need to add a manifest file when you creating the jar file. This manifest file should tell what is the main class of your jar file.

manifest file is also a text file. Am I supposed to follow some syntax?

[wsaryada]

An example your manifest can be something like:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: 1.6.0 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Main-Class: packagename.classname

The Main-Class tells which class is the entry point to you application.
