Runnable JAR file doesn't run after export in Eclipse

Question

I have the following hierarchy :

enter image description here

When I export the project into a runnable JAR file (32 bit platform) , the file is created successfully , but when I try to run it , nothing happens - no response from the OS (windows 7 pro) .

Why can't I run the jar file ?

Thanks

Run the jar in command prompt using `java -jar ` and check any exceptions are there. — seenukarthi, May 20 '13 at 04:57
@Karthikeyan: I added it to the post ,there are exceptions , but the files that are supposedly missing are there . — JAN, May 20 '13 at 05:05
When you export runnable jar in eclipse use "Package required libraies into JAR" then try. — seenukarthi, May 20 '13 at 05:12
can you show us the class you are trying to execute? and also the metainf* file? *http://stackoverflow.com/questions/70216/whats-the-purpose-of-meta-inf — fGo, May 20 '13 at 09:30

It seems that you got a illegal call. That means you try to call a method wich you're not allowed to call. (referenced to your updated edit)

Your error says that you want to execute a method with the modifiers public static. A static method must be calls with the class name not with the object:

SomeClass.staticMethodCall();

The following would be wrong:

SomeClass sc = new SomeClass();
sc.staticMethodCall();
