Error creating JAR file using Command Prompt

Vote count:

I've come across a problem, when trying to package my Java files. I have three Java files: OneMessage.Java, TwoMessage.Java, and AllMessages.Java. I'm on Windows, and so I used cmd to compile these files:

javac OneMessage.Java
javac TwoMessage.Java
javac AllMessages.Java

I then created a Manifest file - using Notepad - with the following and saved it as Manifest.mf:

Manifest-Version: 1.0 
Main-Class: AllMessages

(There's a single line after "Main-Class: AllMessages".)

However, when I tried to create my executable JAR file, a problem occurs, stating that the system cannot file the file specified (the file is in the source folder btw). And this is what I input to create my JAR file:

cvmf AllMessages.jar Manifest.mf *.class

However, I get the following: "java.io.FileNotFoundException: Manifest.mf (The system cannot find the file specified".

Help is appreciated as ever.
