elate could care less about your manifest, you have to supply the name of the class to execute on the command line to it.

Here's my test, a slide show program that sucks images out of a ZIP file. It invokes the e-ink updates e.g. its "ported" to the iLiad.

To compile:
javac -classpath irex.jar -source 1.3 -target 1.1 Test1.java

To Jar:
jar cf Test1.jar Test1*.class

To run it I use this shell script:

#!/bin/sh                                                                       
EXECPATH=sys/platform/linux/taoref/er10xx                                       
IMGPATH=$EXECPATH                                                               
export DISPLAY=:0                                                               
export ELATE_FB_TTY=/dev/tty0                                                   
#export ELATE_KTRACE=/tmp/ktrace.log                                            
export ELATE_DEBUGSTUB=7990                                                     
                                                                                
cd /home/intent/                                                                
if [ ! -d /home/intent/ROOTDIR ]                                                
then                                                                            
   ln -s / ROOTDIR                                                              
fi                                                                              
                                                                                
    JVMARGS="-v -classpath $1;MobipocketCoreReader.jar;kxml2-2.3.0.jar;irex.jar 
    OPTIONS="-capp/stdio/jcode $JVMARGS"                                        
                                                                                
exec $EXECPATH/elate -B $IMGPATH/target.img -g2 -l $EXECPATH "$OPTIONS"

java.sh Test1.jar Test1 ROOTDIR/path/to/file.zip

The elate can't see file's that begin with /, you have to use the ROOTDIR symlink to get to them.

Tap the screen to exit the program.

The -v lets you see the classes load, important for sussing out why elate is having heart burn over your code.

The commented out ktrace lets System.out go to the console.
