title: Building an Executable .jar file using Netbeans
body: <p>I've created a java project in Netbeans an am now stuck in the build stage. Everything in my project is set, I have a main class set in its properties and I even set my project as the main project. When I do a "Clean and Build", a dist folder is created with my .jar file. However, the .jar file is not executable, why? I opened the .jar file and looked at the manifest, a main class is specified, so what's the problem? I'm running Netbeans 7.3.1. Thanks.</p>
