At startup, you can specify any executable class. In order to have a class available from a given JAR, you need to add it to the classpath:

 java -cp Test.jar Class1

If the parameter Main-Class is registered in the JAR manifest

 Manifest-Version: 1.0 Main-Class: Class1

, then the specified class will be launched when the executable JAR is started:

 java -jar Test.jar
