If I remember correctly, You can't use both -classpath and -jar. If you 
use -jar, the -classpath option is ignored. Try listing c2dc.jar with 
the -classpath option and then name the main class directly. 
Alternatively, you can try adding the classpath reference to the antlr 
runtime to your MANIFEST. I don't know the syntax offhand, but can look 
it up if you can't figure it out.
