Class-Path ignored when running jar

My MANIFEST.MF in my application jar contains the following line:

Class-Path: other.jar

My directoy contains the followign files at the same level:

- myApp.jar
- other.jar

I run my application using 

java -jar myApp.jar

and get a NoClassDefFoundError for a class which is in other.jar

What am i missing please?

Turns out the issue was outside of the manifest file. I had an autogenerated index.list file next to it which blocks classpath from being read.

Is your Class-Path the last line in the Manifest file?Then it should have an extra line at the end. It may not read the class-path if there is no carriage return in the end.
