Any idea why

java -jar jarname.jar

works, but double clicking the jar gives a

"Could not find the main class:"

error? Manifest is correctly placed and double clicking was working until recently, but all of a sudden it gives that error. I’m not sure what changes I made though.

EDIT:
The command I used to create the jar was (in cmd):

jar cfe jarname.jar files.Main *

Main is part of the package files.

    It seems to have been some weird compiler version problem. When I complied the class files using an older version of java, then compiled it into a .jar file, it was able to run.
