[b]Simple Deploy problem- making an Executable JAR File ...PLEASE HELP [/b]

Question

Hi all,
I Trying to deploy a simple J2SE app by making an Executable JAR File, however I don'r understand how to add a valid value to the Main Class field.
I followed the following description within Jdev, after creating a Deployment Profile:
Deploying an Executable JAR File
You can make your simple archive or J2EE Client Module into an executable JAR file that you can launch with the java command.
To deploy an executable JAR file:
1) Select and right-click the simple archive or client icon in the Navigator to display the context menu.
2) Choose Properties.
3) Click JAR Options in the tree.
4) Select Include Manifest File (META-INF/MANIFEST.MF).
5) In the Main Class field, enter the fully qualified name of the application class that is to be invoked.
7) Click OK.
8) Launch the executable JAR file from the command line:
java -jar myapp.jar
where myapp represents your JAR file name.
Like I said it's in 5) I'm doing something worng
My deploy-file (PlotPrint.deploy) looks the following:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1252'?>
<client-deployment xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/jdeveloper/903/deploy/j2ee-client-jar" nselem="client-deployment" class="oracle.jdeveloper.deploy.jar.ClientProfile">

Answer 1

Yes that was the problem so I have changed the element mainClass to
<mainClass>xxPlotPrint.MHCI.PlotPrintClient</mainClass>
But now another probem has occured, since I get the following error when run the jar-file (When I run the app from within Jdev there are no warnings or errors).
----Batch-file-----
@echo off
java -jar PlotPrint.jar
echo Test Plot and Print Batch-file!
pause
---- out to cmd ----

It's the same problem in all three exceptions (the exactly the same code), however I was a bit to quick this is the line (the line before I process the xml doc :-)
import org.w3c.dom.Element;
responseData = new Vector();
responseData = test_NNE35_SOAP.getXSDdoc();
Element elements = ( (org.w3c.dom.Element)responseData.elementAt(0) ); (line 42)
Please help I don't understad why I receive this exception, since I included the xmlparserv2.jar file, and don't even have a workaround :-(
