Perhaps your jarfile is corrupted in some way, possibly due to how it was downloaded or installed.

this issue is caused by manifest file because you haven't added space after every colon in here, it should be: 

Manifest-Version: 1.0 
Created-By: 1.7.0_79 (Oracle Corporation) 
Class-Path: mysql-connector-java-5.1.28.jar 
Main-Class: JavaApplication1

after Main-Class there must be a Blank line see here https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/jar/modman.html.
