are you trying to export your code, with an library attached?
i do not know of a way to do this.

Perhaps you can just import the jar file as classes (unpack with
something like winzip and add the workspace as if it was your code
package), and then it will create a jar with all the code in it.

would that work around solve your problem?

I never include Jar files in my exported jar file.  I just run my main
jar with the classpath including all of the external jar files.

Ex...
javaw -classpath
..\lib\foxtrot.jar;..\lib\forms-1.0.6.jar;..\lib\looks-2.0.jar;..\lib\metouia.jar;..\lib\kunststoff.jar;..\lib\gtkswing.jar;..\lib\quaqua.jar;..\lib\hsqldb.jar;..\lib\JQuotesApp.jar

If you are using Eclipse, check out FatJar. It solved my (identical)
problem.

Note line 4 of the manifest, sets the Main-Class and line 6, which sets
the class-path for a needed external jar file.

As to editing a manifest manually, I'd use Ant to do that automagically
instead.

HTH,
