Create executable Jar file under Eclipse

Question

I created a Java application and I want to create jar file for this application. This application imported other external jar files by Build Path>Add External Jar File. How can I generate executable JAR file for this application in Ubuntu with these external libraries dependencies?

Answer 1

To create a new runnable JAR file in the workbench:

1. From the menu bar's File menu, select Export.
2. Expand the Java node and select Runnable JAR file. Click Next.
3. In the Runnable JAR File Specification page, select a 'Java Application' launch configuration to use to create a runnable JAR.
4. In the Export destination field, either type or click Browse to select a location for the JAR file.
5. Select an appropriate library handling strategy.
6. Optionally, you can also create an ANT script to quickly regenerate a previously created runnable JAR file.
