What is the correct naming convention for MANIFEST.MF

Question

How do I set an entry point to my generated war file? Here is my Manifest file

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: Test

with Package name:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: com.process.Test

When I deploy it and try to run it from cmd using : java -jar myFile.war

I get :

NoClassDefFoundError: Test

regardless of whether I specify a package name with the main class.

Thanks in advance :)

The package name is required. Are you working with a jar or a war? — Jeremy, May 16 '12 at 21:15
You can't run it that way. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5591787/convert-war-file-to-exe-file — Jeremy, May 16 '12 at 21:20

Does your class have no package? Try specyfing it as:

Main-Class: com.maventest.Test

yes it does have a package? I 've tried with : com.process.Test and it still gives the same error. – Fabii May 16 '12 at 21:07
And is it war or jar? War is for web applications, while jar is for general java programs/libraries. And how do you build your jar? With maven? – Majki May 16 '12 at 21:12
