in eclipse it is very intuitive: right click on project. export. jar. select name and directory. next. seal the packages and select the main class. if you use windows you need a batch file in the same directory like: @echo off java -jar name.jar <parameters> in linux a bash script

I think you cannot make .exe files in java - instead it makes a .class. If you want to make a .exe file write a program in c# and run this script in your windows cmd prompt. csc YOUR_CS_APPNAME That will compile the c# code and make a .exe file
