Remember that Jess 5.x and 4.x are old, unsupported versions; this might mean that the manuals are not up-to-date. In this case, that's what's going on; although the manual may say "java -jar jess.jar" will work, it does not. This is actually deliberate. If you run a program with -jar, Java won't load any classes from outside the JAR file, so Jess's reflection capabilities are broken. Therefore, Jess is packaged in a JAR file that can't be loaded this way -- you can instead do what the Jess 6 manual says to do: "java -classpath jess.jar jess.Main".
