Few participants couldn't find a way how to create JAR file for project.
Create JAR action added into context menu of J2SE project root node. However it does same think as build. File another bug when you want me to remove it again :-)
Maybe we could have one context menu item "Build (Create JAR)"? I don't know, just thinking that having two context menu items that do the exact same thing is also going to confuse users.
Reopening as the solution "Build Project JAR" might be confusing and is inconsistent with web apps projects.
Petr, please rename the action names back to "Build Project" and "Clean and Build Project" and reassign to me. I would come up with different solution for next promotion.
Should be renamed. No more JAR word in the popup menu. Reassigning.
Could you please check if this issue is still valid? IMO jars are created automatically inside /dist when building application.
I think this should be fixed together with #46721: Option for a j2seproject to produce no JAR. If there is an option to build without producing JAR, then it makes sense to introduce a Build JAR menu item that would always build a JAR. Changing to enhancement.
