To compile a program I use:
    javac -classpath ../ShowMemory/ShowMemory.jar \
          -Xlint:all \
          -Werror \
          PanelTools.java

To create a jar I use:
    jar   -cvfm PanelTools.jar \
          MANIFEST.MF \
          images \
          -C ../ShowMemory ShowMemory.jar \
          *.class

The MANIFEST.MF contains:
    Manifest-Version: 1.0
    Main-Class: PanelTools
    Class-Path: ShowMemory.jar

But when I execute the program with:
    java -jar PanelTools.jar &

I get:
    Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: nl/decebal/utilities/ShowMemory

What am I doing wrong?
