Main-Class: Automate
And I created the jar using the command:
jar cvfm Automate.jar mainfest-addition.txt *.class

Groovy scripts are nice - they allow to use dependencies and write logic in small single file, but Groovy is mostly available on developers machine, but not on servers, so deploying them is a little more tricky. You can package them in uberjar with Gradle, but it requires additional build file and compatible structure, so it is more like project than script already.
