It looks like the problem is not that the program doesn't run, but
that the output from "System.out.println" is being written on the
wind. I included code to write a small file, and that file appears
when I double-click the jar file. So the program runs, but where is
the Standard Output file that System.out.println is supposed to write
to?

I could believe that it's on a console window that vanishes
immediately when I start it be double-clicking it. But when I open a
command window, navigate to the jar's directory and type "main.jar",
the exact same thing happens. The file is created, but the System.out
output is nowhere to be seen.
