Thanks Tim. The side note is that the race is all mine. Two or three months ago I don't think I even knew JMS existed, I hadn't really looked at XML, and had never been on a forum like this. To then learn that there were two options (stand-alone vs. ACC) and that the tutorials of JAVA JDK 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5 were so very different in the added features or changes really was confusing. Under pressure to have something that works I myself was in essence in my race against time.
I am pursuing vaious ways to assure the -mainclass on the command line and in the MANIFEST.MF definitely match. I am not yet having much success, but will perservere. Thanks again.
