I made a java class using the library Jaudiotagger, and it runs without problems. I then made a jar out of it and I got NoClassDefFoundError. Here's how it went:
I put the main class id3tag.java and the library jaudiotagger-2.0.3.jar in a folder and compiled using the command line. The program ran smoothly without problems.
javac -cp .;jaudiotagger-2.0.3.jar id3tag.java
java -cp .;jaudiotagger-2.0.3.jar id3tag
I then created the manifest and the jar file.
echo Main-Class: id3tag >manifest.txt
jar cvfm id3tag.jar manifest.txt id3tag.class jaudiotagger-2.0.3.jar
I got the following output:
added manifest
adding: id3tag.class(in = 5952) (out= 2997)(deflated 49%)
adding: jaudiotagger-2.0.3.jar(in = 811441) (out= 740599)(deflated 8%)
I then ran the jar file, and got "A Java Exception has occurred.". I also tried:
java -jar id3tag.jar
And I got the output:

I then replaced all (both) error classes used from Jaudiotagger with Exception and recreated the jar. Now the same thing happens as for seemingly all other jar files when I run them (with Java(TM) Platform SE binary, or through writing id3tag.jar in the command prompt) - nothing. java -jar, however, works and gave me a runtime error.

It seems like the entire library just doesn't do shit for me. How do I fix this, and how do I get jar files to run without java -jar? (Also, how do I get the full pile'o'errors in case someone needs it, rather than just having it say "x more"?)
I'm not very savvy with this kinda shit so the more specific the answer, the better. Thanks.
I'm on windows 8 and latest java (1.7.0_17).
