Which in other words means: you created something, but not an executable JAR.

Your manifest is incorrect. Check the Main-Class entry.

Huh? If the Main-Class entry in the MANIFEST is not correct, how comes double-clicking works? Doesn't that use the same information?

I overlooked that double-clicked part... not sure why it works - I suspect accidental classpath magic - but the same argument from my side would be: if double-clicking works, why that error message?
