My program doesn't run outside Eclipse. I did it with a tutorial http://www.vogella.de/articles/Eclipse/article.html#firstjava. My java virtual machine launcher just says: "Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from C:\Users\TheVallu\workspace\FirstProg.jar". Help!

Reproducible: Always

Please ask for help regarding how to use Eclipse and the exporting of jars in the forums. Bugzilla is not the place for this.

As Remy suggests, this does not sound like an Eclipse bug, and it is certainly not a bug with annotation processing, the component you assigned it to.  It sounds like you need to specify a main class in your manifest, or you are using the wrong command line syntax to invoke your program.
