jar problem again

[rs51]

I have this problem: i want to create a jar file from a package called pt.rs.divelog
i use this dir:
C:\Java_Granel\Classes\pt\rs\divelog
inside this last one i've my classes and a folder named images with gifs, etc inside.
I tried creating the .mf and the .jar inside the last and first folders, but i get msgs errors.

When i run the app from msdos, i use C:\Java_Granel\Classes\pt\rs\divelog>java -classpath C:\java_granel\classes pt.rs.divelog.DiveLog

to compile from msdos i use:
C:\Java_Granel\Classes\pt\rs\divelog>javac -classpath C:\Java_Granel\Classes\ DiveLog.java

How should i organize things:
where to put the manifest?
where to create the jar?
from which dir should i run the command line?

In the dos prompt :

cd C:\Java_Granel\Classes
jar -cvf myjar.jar *
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;C:\Java_Granel\Classes\myjar.jar
java pt.rs.divelog.DiveLog

forget about the manifest.

Thanks for your help
i tried exactly what you recomended but the result is the same i got (after i posted): i only get A PART of the final result.
I explain better: i'm following this tut from sun about GUI and i'm building a dive log app.
I'm not over yet, and (to complicate a bit) i used a more complex package: pt/rs/divelog instead of simply: divelog.
Anyway, when i run the app from msdos like this:
C:\Java_Granel\Classes\pt\rs\divelog>java -classpath C:\java_granel\classes pt.rs.divelog.DiveLog,
i get everything i made so far.
Instead, using your method or mine (with .mf file), i only see PART of the components i see when i run from msdos.
More!: when double clicking in the jar i get this error msg:
failed to load main-class manifest atribute from C:\Java_Granel\Classes\myapp.jar

Why?

How do you mean ? Do you think you are missing classes, or images or what ?

Open the jar file with WinZip, or type :

jar -tvf myjar.jar

to view the actual contents of the jar - to check all classes are there, and you have not missed some out from another directory ...

What is the contents of your manifest ?

hi again
i checked from msdos and all files are inside .jar.
What i mean is that in my app , for instance, my FJrame has an icon, but when i run the jar, the icon doesnt show up,
when i run the app from dos, i see all North, South, East, West and Center pannes fullfilled, but from jar i only see north.
here's my manifest:

Manifest-Version: 1.2
Name: pt/rs/divelog/DiveLog.class
Main-Class: pt/rs/divelog.DiveLog

with a new line at the end

i also tried several changes with the manifest: without version, without the .class but allways works the same way
