See the following reference:

This would allow the app to be started by simply double-clicking the jar 
(presuming the relevant file association is set up).

What jar are you using?
"java -jar lukeall-1.0.1.jar" works for me.
And I see proper "Main-Class: org.getopt.luke.Luke" in META-INF/MANIFEST.MF.

Apologies,

I've looked again (I have lukeall-1.0.1.jar) and it does indeed have a 
Main-Class setting. Don't know how I missed this before.

The problem was in fact that I'm on Ubuntu and the executable bit has to be set 
for the downloaded jar before the JRE will treat it as executable.

Anyway, thanks for all your efforts building luke - it came in very handy. :)
