#46 java "could not find the main class"

[Stephen Post]

When I make a jar with Jode and try to run it, java quits
with "could not find the main class". With Jode, I am
preserving the main class and the main method. When
I list or decompile the jar it looks fine - The main class
and main method show exactly like other ones that run
but were not processed by Jode. I've done enough
variations for enough hours to ensure that there are no
obvious errors. I've tried several renamers and
analyzers, with the same results.

I'm using j2sdk1.4.0_01, and there are two packages
with about 300 objects.
