Description Srimanth CLA 2005-10-12 10:40:45 EDT
I created an App Client project and a corresponding EAR. After coding the app
client, I wanted to the change the main-class attribute of the project, and was
unable to do so. The message said to the 'The java class entry point for the
application can be set as an attribute using the manifest editor', but the
manifest editor itself doesnt open. 
There should be some way of changing this attribute easily as people would want
to change the 'main-class' for a variety of reasons after the project is
created. Maybe they imported a JAR containing the code, or they renamed the
default 'main-class' or the package it was in, or they added a dependent project
which has the 'main-class' etc. 
Currently the only way is to use the text editor on the manifest.mf file.
