Creating a JAR file with Eclipse
These instructions are only a guide for creating a JAR based on a single .java file.
Take it as is, an introduction.
The following steps can be changed depending on the new Eclipse version changes.
- Choose the Java file from Project Explorer or Navigator view.
- Do right click ( will be shown contextual menu ) and choose "export".
- Choose Java -> JAR file.
- Select the destination folder, for example C:\openkm-dev\jar\your-class.jar.
- Click Next.
- Click Next.
- Optional step. If your java class implements "public static void main(String[] args)" then you must choose your java class as the class of the entry point.
- Click Finish.
Step 7 for example is needed when you're creating a new crontab job.
