[FIXED] Jar works on double-click, but not in command line

Issue

Following up on one of my questions in another post.

I added the maven-assembly-plugin to my POM, and now the jar works, but only if I double-click on the jar in the file system. If I try to run the jar from the command line, I still receive this error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:

This concerns me, because it seems like this jar is not platform-independent. How can I fix this?

Solution

syntax to launch application from jar on cmd line

  java -jar jarname

Given that you have Manifest.txt file with jar having Main-Class:*package.class_name_containing_main_method*
