Exporting to a executable JAR file

[Drun]

I have a class that has a main function that I would like to export to a executable jar file. When I go to to export it, I right click on the package of that contains the class with the main function, Export and select Executable Jar file, I enter a jar file name c:\<classnamewithmain>.jar but the Next and finnish buttons stay disabled. Is there something that I am missing?

hi Drun

make sure eclipse can run your code without errors. go to export and then when the export dialog appears select the Java folder and then Runnable JAR file, click next and when the Runnable JAR file dialog appears select the right launch configuration <classnamewithmain> in the list box and browse for the destination folder and after that the Finish button should be enabled. good luck.

Basically exporting means that build a jar file for your application, right?

[Drun]

Eranga, yes.
j2me64, yes it was running with no problems in eclipse infact I had run it a few times to test if it was working before I even tried to export as a runable jar.

Also sorry about the delay on my replies, been a bit busy with multipul things (see my other post I put up.)

Add your JAR file into the class path and import it into your source. Then you ca use that JAR file globally, in any other project.
