Maybe your manifest is malformed. Usually the programmer dont deal with this files when using an IDE but maybe you found a bug.

Read this documentation:

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/jar/manifestindex.html

Take a deep look to "Setting an Application's Entry Point" section. Maybe that's the problem.
