manifest

I have the following problem. I have a Java project in my NetBeans IDE 6.8. When I compile it and it produces a .jar file containing everything possible, the META-INF is not right. It doesn't contain the class to be executed - with main() method.

When I click the Run button inside the IDE, everything works. The settings of the project are also set the right way - pointing to a class in my project.

I tried adding a folder META-INF with manifest file but I didn't manage.

Is there a way to do this manually in NetBeans, because I found that if I add the missing Main class in the manifest, everything works.
