Creating Jar File Using Netbeans or Eclipse

Hello again


Some time smart programmers feel difficult to operate easy steps.


So I am providing steps to create Jar files using IDEs i.e. Netbeans and Eclipse


For Netbeans


Steps are

         1. On completing your project, right click on the Project Name (you can find it a tree structure of your project and its internal files on left side)

       2. Click on Compile and build option in right click menu

       3. After successful compilation of your project, Move to the NetBeansProjects folder in your My Documents or for Mac user it will be present in User folder

       4. In NetBeansProjects go to your Project name folder 

       5. In your Project folder you will find "dist" folder

       6. There you have your Jar file with lib if you used any external APIs

7. Congrats you created your JAR file :)

        NOTE: You can change the name of Jar file and if you want to edit your project after editing repeat this process to obtain modified Jar

For Eclipse 

Steps are

1. Open your project, Click on File (Menu Bar)

2. Select Export and Export dialog box is displayed

3. Under Java, select JAR File and Click Next

4. You will find a box on left top which states "Select the resources to export"

5. In that box check your entire project (Your choose some part of your project for testing your project module)

6. At the bottom you will find an option to choose the path where the JAR file will be exported, provide with your desired path

7. Click next, no necessary change is required in this page, So click again Next 

8. You will be directed to last page, at the bottom there you can choose the class file which is your project's entry point select the appropriate entry class from the project

9. Click on finish, Congrats your JAR file is created :)

Thats it for this post

Enjoy

Keep smiling

Have fun
