I try to make an exe file of a jar file. I get a error like this:

"classpath does not contain main classes"

This error is from the program Excelsior.

    Please add the commands you were trying, JARs added to classpath, path from which command is invoked to make exe file – Arkantos Apr 17 '15 at 08:55
  • The question is - why do you want to do that? If you just want your users to be able to double-click your application you just need a runnable jar file. – JanTheGun Apr 17 '15 at 09:11
  • when i copy the file from "project/dist/" to a usb it will do nothing when i click it – Torbjörn Dahlgren Apr 17 '15 at 11:10

Your manifest file should be like-

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: 1.7.0_67 (Oracle Corporation)
Main-Class: MyMainClass
Class-Path: .

You must have missed "Main-Class" or "Class-Path" attribute. You can manually add these entries by editing manifest file.

Also, if you are looking for other alternatives, this will help you- How can I convert my Java program to an .exe file?
