Packaging Java applications without an IDE

Question

I have a java application that works in CMD, and I run it in our traditional way, for example:

javac test.java
java test

I added some libraries to my root as a folder, they are inside a folder called "org", all the dependencies are inside it. I need to pack this application and make it work on the client machine. How can i do this? I do not use any IDEs.

Answer 1

usually there is always a build manager associated with the project, for example maven or ant, which abstracts the complexity of dependency and packaging management

I would describe the project
