My Manifest in myprogram.jar:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: 1.6.0_22 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Main-Class: myprogram
Class-Path: xSocket

Answer 1

You need to specify the full jar file name ie with extension. Check here for more information.

Class-Path: xSocket.jar

Yes, it's the way.

You should change your class pass value in myprogram.jar to

Class-Path: relatedPath/xSocket.jar
