The specification for a manifest in a JAR file allows it to contain a
Main-Class: attribute, but it doesn't have to have one.
After all, not all JARs are complete applications, some are only a part
of an application, so it makes sense that you can only run some JARs
and not all JARs.
Mac OS X does support the Main-Class: attribute, but as you've just
told us, there isn't one in xmlpad.jar, so its not a runnable JAR.
At this point I think you need to read whatever documentation came with
this application and see if it explains how to start the application.
(sorry, I didn't see any of the earlier messages in this thread, so I
don't know what it is or where you got it.)
