Making excutable jar file using eclipse

My project runs fine from Eclipse.

But when I tried to make it into a jar file or executable file it doesn't work.

I used the option "Export-Runnable JAR file"

The following message appears just after the eclipse finished the exporting process

JAR export finished with wornings , see details.

the details were ..

Exported with compile warnings:Mario/src/Map.java

and the same for other classes like

Exported with compile warnings:Mario/src/Player.java

and so on.

So that I used the other option "Export - JAR file"

It works fine and nothing appears while exporting it from Eclipse.

But when I try to open the file it gives me 

Couldn't find the main class:Frame.Program will exit

Somebody have any idea about what the problem is?

The important thing for executable jar is Manifest. Make sure it exists and points to the correct class with main method

Your MANIFEST.MF file inside the META-INF dir should have a Main-Class attribute pointing to your main class.
