How can i export a jar file with libraries in eclipse? (Not executable jar)

Question

How can i export a jar file in eclipse with libraries? Executable jar wont work for me so that is out of the question. There is no option to do that when i try to export it..

Answer 1

If the jar is not running try to run it using a CLI for example command prompt java -jar <name>.jar and see the errors.

When you export the .jar there are 3 options .

• One and two produces the .jar with the libraries inside.
• Third option is producing a .jar (executable) with the libraries added a different folder[ which has the same name as the jar file and it must be named like it].

Mention that:

You may have serious problems and your executable will not run if your application has duplicate entries . So most of the time the third bullet is the best solution.
