5) Create a .mf file named (case sensitive): MANIFEST and put in META-INF folder. Here is a copy of a manifest from one of my programs:

The Class-Path variable indicates any external libraries you are using and provides full paths to those libraries. For this example, it is saying that the SX.jar library is in the same folder as the executing jar. The Main-Class variable indicates the name of the .class file inside the jar that will be the class with your main. Notice how there is no extension on on the Main-Class variable. Lastly, make sure there is at least 1 extra blank line at the bottom.
6) Put the META-INF folder inside your zip folder.
7) Rename the zip folder to be a .jar instead of a .zip.
8) Double-click to run program.

tell me how i compile them?

In Eclipse, right click the project and go to Export. Go to Java->Runnable Jar (if you want a runnable jar). In the following window, choose your class containing the main method you wish to launch with, select how to repackage any external jar files, and define where to save the jar. Click Finish.

By 'doesn't work' I presume it doesn't launch. Go to the command line and try running the jar from there

java -jar nameofjar.jar

I suggest this because using the command line you can readily see any exceptions thrown which could be a reason why it is not launching.

Doesn't work can mean many things. Please define in detail what you mean by 'doesn't work'.

public class SomeClass
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {}
    // ... other code
}

kk now it wont give anyerror when i click the jar but it wont open anything?
it supposed to open a game client so how i can make that that jar opens another jar too?

pleaseany1?

You need to put code inside the main method to launch the game client (I have no idea what this would be, though).

it is there coz i unpacked a jar coz i wanted to add few more options in it.
but when i try repacking into jar it wont open :/

edit:
just tried just unpack a jar then tried repacking it into jar and now it wont open <.<

okey i found the problem...
the problem is that the eclipse gives compile errors when i try make it into .class file and thats why it wont make that full java code inside to the .class... but the client works with that code witch is in the eclipse but i cant get it into .class file :/ so any ideas how to convert it into .class file with errors etc?

make sure you have imported the external .jar file you are using into your eclipse project,

Project > Properties > Build Path > Libraries > add Jar

now i cant modify it at all.... when i modifield it and export them to runnable jar it makes them back to the original code -.-
i need modify it :/ so any other ideas?

it replaces the code where error appears with this:

 public final void createFrame()
  {
    throw new Error("Unresolved compilation problem: \n\tThe constructor Class26(int, int, Component, int) is undefined\n");
  }
 
  public final void createMenu()
  {
    throw new Error("Unresolved compilation problems: \n\tThe constructor Object(Menu) is undefined\n\tval$scriptMenu cannot be resolved or is not a field\n");
  }

do i need to fix it or is there any way to that it wont replace that code with that error :/
and if i need fix it? How i can do it?

atm menu code is this:

 thiever.addActionListener(new ActionListener(scriptMenu)
      {
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
          while (true) {
            if (BSBotClient.username == null ? "" != null : !BSBotClient.username.equals("")) if (BSBotClient.password == null ? "" != null : !BSBotClient.password.equals(""))
                break; BSBotClient.username = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter username:");
            BSBotClient.password = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter password:");
            if (BSBotClient.username == null ? "" != null : !BSBotClient.username.equals("")) if (BSBotClient.password == null ? "" != null : !BSBotClient.password.equals(""))
                continue;
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Please enter something atleast");
          }
 
          BSBot.bsBot.scriptHandler.playScript(new BSScriptPaladinThiever(BSBot.bsBot));
          this.val$scriptMenu.setEnabled(false);
        }
      });
