Creating Single file Runnable Jars in Scala with Eclipse

Question

Can anyone tell me how I can create a runnable JAR file from a Scala program using Eclipse and Scala 2.9.x ?

A quick Google brings up results like this ..

Which uses a Java class to call the Scala main however it doesn't seem to work with Scala 2.9.

Thanks for your time.

In Scala 2.9.1, you can simply create a .java file like this to be able to make use of Eclipse's Create Runnable JAR functionality:

public class ScalaRunner {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Main.main(args);
    }
}
