Hi,

Request push to 7u2.

CR Bug description <can't find it on bugs.sun.com>:

If you create a jar file WITHOUT a “Main-Class” manifest field, and you try to run it by java –jar xxx.jar using Java 7 b147, you get this:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
         at sun.launcher.LauncherHelper.getMainClassFromJar(LauncherHelper.java:399)
         at sun.launcher.LauncherHelper.checkAndLoadMain(LauncherHelper.java:463)

However if you do the same thing in Java 6, you get this:
         Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from
         stringbenchmarkmissingmainclass.jar
