Why am I getting an exception when running a JAR file from the command prompt?

Hi I have made a runnable JAR file useing export option on eclipse. However, when I go to run the file via command prompt i get the following 

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError
    at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.jarinjarloader.RsrcURLConnection.getInputStream(RsrcURLConnection.java:43)
    at java.net.URL.openStream(Unknown Source)

    at java.lang.Class.forName(Unknown Source)
    at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.jarinjarloader.JarRsrcLoader.main(JarRsrcLoader.java:56)

Does any one have any ideas as to what im doing wrong? pretty new to the whole creating runnable files etc.

Extract the jar file look for the file META-INF/MANIFEST-MF. This file should have an entry 

Main-Class : <you fully qualified classname having main method>

Check if the class you mentioned as Main-Class has a main method (public static void main(String[] arg))

Your jar is compiled with a newer version of java than the computer you are running it on.
