Java is not finding the Main Class in my jar file...

I am building a multi-player battle simulation game application. I have built the program and successfully built a jar file.

But Java fails to see the main class when I invoke the jar file.

Here is my manifest:

Class-Path: GlobalConfig/GlobalConfig.jar
LocalConfig/LocalConfig.jar Dialogs/Dialogs.jar
SupportCode/SupportCode.jar
Main-Class: AdminClient

Here is my main class code:

The code compiles and create the jar without errors.

But when I invoke the Jar file I get this:

allan@INetMach:~/DevSFB$ java -jar AdminClient.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: AdminClient$1
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: AdminClient$1

at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoade r.java:334)
Could not find the main class: AdminClient. Program will exit.

I do realize that the

AdminClient$1

indicates an anonymous inner class. But There should not be one. I tried placing the main program in a package but that did not work either.

Any help in this matter will be appreciated.

Did you look in the folder where the class files are written by the compiler to see if that class file was there?
How are you creating the jar file?
