I am making a JAR file for a program in Swing. The Swing application
uses 5 external Jar files. Im having problems creating the manifest
file correctly and when i get my jar made, it cant find the main
class.

Does the jar contain a class with path & name of
start/Start.class ?

...Below is the mamifest file it contains the main-class variable
and the class path variable(I use this to point to the external jars,
if this is the incorrect way of doing it please let me know).

I think it is. The paths should be relative,
not absolute..

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: start.Start
Class-Path:
C:\Sun\jwsdp-2.0\jaxb\lib\jaxb-xjc.jar;

..so if the main jar lives in.. 'jaxb', that path would be..
lib/jaxb-xjc.jar
..note the forward slash, and lack of ';'. The example
in the JavaDocs shows two jars listed on the same
line, delimited by a space.
