Hello! It's great to hear that you're using a project to learn
programming. The error you're encountering, "no main manifest
attribute," typically occurs when you're trying to execute a JAR file
that doesn't have a proper manifest file specifying the entry point
(main class) for your application.

Here are some steps to check and resolve this issue:

Ensure you have a Main Class: Make sure that you have defined a main
class in your Java code. The main class is the entry point for your
application, and it should have a public static void main(String[] args)
method.

Create a Manifest File: You need to create a manifest file (usually
named MANIFEST.MF) in your project, which specifies the main class. It
should look something like this:

css
Copy code
Main-Class: your.package.name.YourMainClass
Replace your.package.name.YourMainClass with the actual package and class name where your main method is located.

Build Your JAR File: Build your JAR file again using Eclipse or your
preferred build tool. Ensure that the manifest file is included in the
JAR and located at the root of the JAR file.

Run the JAR: After creating the JAR file with the manifest, you can use
the following command to run it:

bash
Copy code
java -jar your-jar-file.jar
In your case, it appears that you're using a Sikuli script and trying to execute a Swing GUI from the JAR file. Ensure that your JAR file includes the necessary Swing components and that you're specifying the correct main class in the manifest.

As for your hyperlink request, you can find more information about
creating and troubleshooting JAR files and Java Swing GUIs in the
official Java documentation and online tutorials. Additionally, you can
explore online learning platforms like  https://www.instrucko.com/school
to find courses and resources that can help you improve your Java
programming skills.
