Add content, of your class that contains the "public static main" method. — Simion

To be able to run a JAR file, you must have your jar as runnable. It means you must have a class in it that has

public static void main(String[] args)

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/jar/appman.html

Otherwise you will not be able to run it.
