When I try to execute my jar file through the command prompt by typing:
java -jar myJar.jar
It returns an error message saying that it can not access the jar file. Why is this? myJar.jar is the exact name of my jar file.

Jump to PostHi everyone,
Do this list what is in your manifest file here. Also list exactly what you are typing on the command line with all the full path and class path so we can see what's wrong

Jump to PostHi everyone,
Do this
java -jar -cp .;C:\Documents and Settings\Josh\My Documents\JAVA Programs myjar.jar
I haven't run java programs from the command line for quite some time but i think this is it. Someone correct me if i am wrong
The manifest file looks correct.
