I am learning to build.xml a project with eclipse ide.
below is the MANIFEST.MF that I am creating.
The build shows that the manifest is being written in the dir structure below.
The dir META-INF (sibling to the src) contains this MANIFEST.MF





Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.8.1
Created-By: Apache Ant version 1.8.1 compiled on April 30 2010
Built-By: Steves
Main-Class: build.classes.model.Main 
Implementation-Version: 1.0-b0

Class-Path: build\lib\jcalendar.jar

the following MANIFEST.MF is in the jar file too.
it is in the bin dir of the jar file.

I am attempting to run the dist.jar.
below is the error. Why does my project never find the Main of my app?
Thanks.

a look inside my dist.jar note that the dir "build.classes.model.Main" is the Main I would like to have found.
