Creating Runnable JAR from Eclipse IDE

I look over a lot of info on the web also look at some of the questions here, but couldn't solve my problem so I post this question. I have fairly simple project using SWING which compiles and run under Eclipse, but when I try to use the standard Export->Java->Runnable Jar leaving the default properties at the end I have a file which when I dobule-click I get this: Could not find the main class: TableFilterDemo. Program will exit. Here is my project structure:

enter image description here

And this is the configuration I use for creating the Runnable Jar :

enter image description here

And because as far as I understand the error there is some problem with locating the main method I left TableFilterDremo.java with only the main method in it:

public class TableFilterDemo{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        //Schedule a job for the event-dispatching thread:
        //creating and showing this application's GUI.
        javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                CreateGUI.createAndShowGUI();
            }
        });
    }
}

By far no success.

On the screen before the one you show in the screenshoot, you have to manually select the classes that will be included in the jar.

A good way to check they have been included is to unzip the generated jar file (for example with winzip or winrar) and check it contains all the files.

If you go through the full wizard that Eclipse provides, you'll see there is a screen prompting you to select a main class.
