I created a Java application and I want to create jar file for this application. This application imported other external jar files by Build Path>Add External Jar File. How can I generate executable JAR file for this application in Ubuntu with these external libraries dependencies?

To create a new runnable JAR file in the workbench:

  1. From the menu bar's File menu, select Export.
  2. Expand the Java node and select Runnable JAR file. Click Next.
  3. In the Runnable JAR File Specification page, select a 'Java Application' launch configuration to use to create a runnable JAR.
  4. In the Export destination field, either type or click Browse to select a location for the JAR file.
  5. Select an appropriate library handling strategy.
  6. Optionally, you can also create an ANT script to quickly regenerate a previously created runnable JAR file.

    Thank you. But I want to create an executable jar file from ubuntu command line(terminal). Because I want to use this executable jar file from other application. When I generate an executable jar file from eclipse there are no libraries files are included.That's why? – user3766188 Aug 04 '14 at 08:20

    The runnable jar export window in eclipse has a radio button where you can choose to package the required libraries into the jar. – 4aRk Kn1gh7 Aug 04 '14 at 10:51

    The `Launch Configuration` setting is blank, so there is nothing I can choose. What do I do? – Azurespot Jun 30 '18 at 00:43
