Could not find or load main class with a Jar File

Question

I\'m trying to load a jar using

@echo off
java -jar Test.jar
pause

With the manifest of

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class:          


        

Answer 1

I had a similar problem which I could solve by granting execute-privilege for all parent folders in which the jar-file is located (on a linux system).

Example:

/folder1/folder2/folder3/executable.jar

all 3 folders (folder1, folder2 and folder3) as well as the executable.jar need execute-privilege for the current user, otherwise the error "Could not find or load main class ..." is returned.
