make .jar runnable

//////////////////////////////////////////
Hello;
I can make a .jar from my program and move it to a folder in my progject but I would like to make
it runnable. So I have shown the Command to make the -cmf (non runnable) .jar that
works fine.
I will show the myManifest for the -cvmf (runnable) command but it will not load
the attribute from schoolofdb.jar.

I thought the attribute would be found in the myManifest.mf shown below.
the schoolofdb.jar is created as before but not runnabale. please find the error
stated below.

thanks
working -cmf command works fine

Those BB Code tags won't work if you disable BB Code in your message.

And therefore I enabled them for James.
