Creating jar executable w/ external jar (JXL) in ECLIPSE java

Question

I can't find a working solution for my jar executable. The program runs perfect in my Eclipse IDE, but when I attempt to follow Eclipse instructions, the executable does not work with external JAR.

The JXL jar is in my build path. Anyone know how to get this working through Eclipse? I do not have access to command line.

Answer 1

1.) Right-click on project, select pop-up menu entry "Export...".

2.) Select "Java -> Runnable JAR file".

3.) Choose a working launch configuration for running your program via java -jar MyExecutable.jar from the command line later. Select an output folder and file name. Select "Package required libraries into generated JAR".
