Jar files creation

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Hi Friends,

I'm just starting java development and I need to create a jar file to deploy it to another user. I have the following folder's struture:
c:\rhiegen\downloads\projects\server
and my .java, .class are inside ...\server. They are:
Servidor.java
Servidor.class
Servidor.txt which is my manifest file with the following content
Main-Class: Servidor.Main
Then I issued the following command in the hope of creating my jar file:

jar -cfmv Servidor.jar *.* *.class from inside ...\server folder.
It creates Servidor.jar but when I click it I doesn't execute itself like an .exe file and shows the following error message:
invalid or corrupt jarfile: c:\rhiegen\downloads\projects\server\Servidor.jar.

How can I create an self executing jar file so that I can send it to anyone even if he has not java installed in your computer?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Rhiegen,

JForum's site is about the project "JForum", not about general discussion about java .

Are you Brazilian? if so, you can go to http://www.guj.com.br/forum and post your question there ( there is already many questions about jar files, and many answers ).

If you are not brazilian, you can use the Java Forums Discussion from java.net, at http://forum.java.sun.com/
