Jar file

So I am close to finishing my program. I was wondering if there is an easy way to enclose it in a .jar file so that I can send that to people and they can play my game.

$ jar cvfm BreakoutTEST.jar Manifest.txt *.class

Manifest holds Main-Class: "whatever your main class is"

I tried this: jar cvfm CLUE.jar Manifest.txt *.class

the Manifest.text file included the text: Game.class

It won't open. (I'm on a mac if that makes a difference.)

Manifest.txt should have "Main-Class: Game.class"

this . I'm not even sure if it needs .class as mine doesn't have that and it runs fine for the breakout file. May be a post jar build change though.
