eclipse is a software to export classes into file systems, or into jar categories, but zipping is a process of other softwares like winzip,winrar
u can't compress files using eclipse

If you have a zip program installed you can probably right click on the directory/folder and there will be an option to zip

Do you think, 'zip' or 'winzip' or 'compress' option is accessible from eclipse?
Edited to add: probably you must be speaking about the file system

Yeah, not from Eclipse. Go to where the files actually are located.

Hi,

speaking about file system, right click on your project, and click "locate on disk"
zip the folder "src"
'src' contains the classes of the "(default package)" of our eclipse project.
other packages are seen as a folder with the package name inside the 'src' folder

example,
project name: myproject
package name: (default package)
zip the 'src' folder
package name:my package
Edited:/*locate to */open the folder 'src' and zip 'my package' folder

Hm, whats wrong with just doing File > Export > General > Archive File > Save in zip format (after selecting the desired project) ?

Nothing wrong with that, so three cheers for Eclipse; it is a fine IDE ...
