Answer 2

Because you are working in eclipse, this makes things easier. First, export the whole program as a executable jar. You can do this by going to Files>Export and then in the pop up go to Java>Runnable Jar. Then follow the steps required to make it. Next you make a .bat file and write the following code.

start javaw -jar NameOfJar.jar

Make sure that you put the file in the same directory as your jar. Now you should be able and click on the .bat and execute the program!

Follow this tutorial to create a jar file of your eclipse project. After doing it create a batch file in the same folder where you exported the jar with the command: java -jar yourjar.jar

Answer 4

Create jar file using eclipse ie right click on your project select export jar file then provide file name to store your jar file. In this file eclipse will keep all .class file only and in META-INF folder main class definition if your are creating executable jar file.
