> The JAR specification isn't clear and AFAIK does not define if the main class must use "." instead of "/". 
> But, since jdk 5, Classloader seems to explicitly check if the name contains a "/". Here is an interesting link http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4986512
> Even if it's definitely an error from the jar provider, you are sometimes required to use old jars (< jdk 5) with this kind of format. 
> Since last release (3.1.1) David has changed app client deployment rules and OpenEJB doesn't fail anymore if a NoClassDefFoundError occurs without an application-client.xml descriptor.
> May be we can provide a warn if an app client module contains a bad Main-Class format and try to replace "/" by "."
