The Java EE spec requires an Application Client jar to declare Main-Class. The FAQ only covered Class-Path. apache#61

can we move all content from faq to usage and drop this single faq file? |
No default Main-Class unless archive.manifest.mainClass or a custom manifest sets one.

Moved the FAQ content onto the usage page and dropped the FAQ file. There is no default Main-Class unless you set archive.manifest.mainClass or provide a custom manifest. |

The FAQ only showed how to set Class-Path. Application Client jars also need Main-Class.
I added that to the FAQ (same Archiver config as the Class-Path example) and a one-line pointer on the usage page.
