Is it possible to define multiple entry points into a jar file using the
'Main-Class:' mainfest attribute?

If so, what is the syntax?

Thanks.

No. Main-Class defines the default class to use for java -jar xxx.jar.

You can use any static void main method in the jar from the command
line. It does not need to be mentioned in the manifest e..g.

java -cp xxx.jar com.mindprod.doit.Alt
