Hi,

I have a web project containing servlets. I also set up tomcat server in the eclipse.
There is no "main" in the project.

I did not know how to package these servlets and tomcat server into a jar to run WITHOUT the eclipse IDE(like a executable jar).

Thanks.

Check out what WAR files are.

Moving to Servlets.

A web project is not supposed to have a main. You can use the export functionality to pack it into a WAR or if you like ant you can write a build.xml. You can also use maven do package the files into a WAR.
