They currently compile the sources and produce a single .jar file (aqm.jar) 
which contains all my code, leaving a dozen or so libraries as external 
references.  What I'm trying to do is build a second .jar (ccd.jar) based on 
a subset of my code (everything except the aqm folder), which compiles in 
all the external libraries, to produce a single .jar solely dependent upon 
the JRE.  I've included a file structure appendix below incase that's 
relevant.

manifest.ccd (although I did try manifest.mf, not MANIFEST.MF) and I am 
supplying that as an argument to jar.

doh.  Well I imagine that would have been the next problem ("can't find 
libraries") after this one ("can't find Main class").  I think staying in 
Netbeans is the right way to go, but thanks anyway.

[Beer]
Always delighted to buy beer but I guess I'm talking more about a service 
issue.  Pete, I don't think Freelancers.net is particularly setup for this, 
but it's good in its own right.  Also I think text-based forums aren't 
particularly well setup for this kind of support either.  I really want an 
IDE which can semi-automatically publish problems to a live site where 
experts can solve them (and have all the resources they need).
