How to setup Main class in manifest file in jar produced by NetBeans project

by

I’m going to make a summary of the proposed solutions and the one that helped me!

After reading this bug report:
bug in the way NetBeans 6.8 creates the jar for a Java Library Project.

  1. Create a manifest.mf file in my project root

  2. Edit manifest.mf. Mine looked something like this:

    Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.7.1
Created-By: 16.3-b01 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Main-Class: com.example.MainClass
Class-Path: lib/lib1.jar lib/lib2.jar

  3. Open file /nbproject/project.properties

  4. Add line

    manifest.file=manifest.mf

  5. Clean + Build of project

Now the .jar is successfully build.

Thank you very much vkraemer
