I havent been puting any files in the jar directly. ive been running the install.cmd. I thought that was all I had to do. I extract the mcp zip into a folder named mcp. then I put my minecraft bin and resources folders from .minecraft in the jars folder. I add the server jar into the jars folder. then I extract the forge zip which puts a folder named forge in between the eclipse and jars folder. I then run the install.cmd in the forge folder. after that has finished I follow this tutorial for setting up mcp in net beans http://mcp.ocean-labs.de/index.php/Setting_up_NetBeans. once I've done that I press run. It gives me that error then I start messing with stuff, moving files around, creating packages, etc... eventually once I feel like I've screwed up my mcp forge installation beyond repair, I repeat from step 1 to give my self a fresh install. After trying this for a while I've decided to ask for help.
