Creating an executable JAR file in Eclipse

Question

Should I always click on the jar file / export / executable menu?
Is there a way to do this with a single button?
(Because, for example, if I use netbeans and press the clean and build button, it also generates a jar file.)

Answer 1

When you go to Export... -> Java -> JAR File , click next to go to the second page of the wizard. There you can Save the description of this JAR in the workspace . When the export is complete, you must have a .jardesc file. You can right-click on it and select Create JAR to export in one step.
