I seem to recall, a few years ago when I tried to manually generate a 
manifest for a jar file that I got the same error.
See http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jar/manifest/appman.html
and note :- Warning: The text file must end with a new line or carriage 
return.

If my memory is correct, this is what caused the problem for me.

Java cannot open jar files from inside of other jars. You have two 
options - unjar log4j.jar and put its files into your jar (with your 
manifest) or add Class-Path property into your jar file manifest and 
ship two jar files.

I have something like your application and java CAN use a jar library 
from inside your application jar. I'm using JBuilder Archive builder. 
I've selected the Include All Dependencies option in Archive Builder. 
Try this way..

Yes, but I can't use it, because some .jars are signed. :(
