Executable Scala Jar from Eclipse using Java main class - eclipse

Question

I am trying to create an executable Jar from my Scala project. Therefore, I followed a tutorial. It suggested creating a Java main class within eclipse, which calls the Scala entry point. This works fine when executing within eclipse. After adding this class I was able to export an executable jar. However, it wont work with
java -jar myjar.jar
I made sure to activate "Package required library into jar" when exporting. My Java main class looks like this (where Driver is also located in the package core)
package core;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Driver.main(args);
}
}
And when executing the exported char the follwing error is thrown, which I can debug:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

You could use the One-jar application to guarantee all the necessary jars are in the jarfile, I suspect the scala-lang jars are not in it or in the classpath of the command line.
Maven: https://code.google.com/p/onejar-maven-plugin/
SBT: https://github.com/sbt/sbt-onejar
If you aren't using either maven or SBT I would suggest switching to them as well as they are the main supported build systems in Scala
