How Can I Create a Runnable JAR File in Eclipse, Including Java Source Code?

[Kaydell Leavitt]

Hello,

I'm trying to create a runnable JAR file using Eclipse. I am successfully creating a runnable JAR, but I want to easily be able to include all of my source-code within the JAR. Now, when I look at the JAR files that I'm creating, they only have .class files in them.

Thank you for taking the time to read my question.

Here you go: File -> Export -> Java - JAR file, on the next screen check "Export java source files and resources"

If I go to:

File > Export > Jar

then I don't get a runnable JAR. I'm going to:

File > Export > Runnable Jar

and I don't have the option to include the source-code.

I guess that I'll have to do as you say and go to:

File > Export > Jar > and then choose to include the source-code, but then I guess I'd have to make my own manifest file so that the JAR is runnable.

Right?

I think you have not tried yourself, because on the next screen you will be instructed to create the manifest file as well as specifying the main class.
