How to distribute java project built in Eclipse?

Question

Till now, I have been using Netbeans IDE for Java Applications. To distribute applications made in Netbeans, I just click on clean and build and it packs the application in .jar file which resides in a dist directory.

Now I have made a java project in Eclipse. Is Eclipse has any functionality similar to clean and build functionality of Netbeans by which we can pack java applications to distribute them.

Answer 2
