You need to put the name of your class with the main method in the jar's manifest file. Read this, particularly the bits about manifest files and setting the entry point.

one more doubt please
In my jar file named Myjar having the following contents..
under MyPackage

--> MyClass
--> Image file (bmp)

"MyClass" takes "Image file" as input and produce another "Image file" (bmp)as output.
I want to write that output of that "MyClass" to the "Myjar".
How can we do that?is there any possibility?

-Thanks & Regards,
Hamsa

Don't know. Probably not, I am afraid. The idea of jar files is to contain executable file and resources. Not for output.

You can update an existing JAR file like this.



You'll have to try it and see whether the new image.bmp is added to the JAR or overwrites the existing file.
