Description jmorin3 2006-07-30 21:39:49 UTC 
BlueJ 2.13 allows kids to create JAR files of projects, and can be made
executable when a main method exists in one class in the project.  In
Introduction to CS I teach them how to use this, so some students wo take the
advanced class may want that feature in the Netbeans version of BlueJ.  BlueJ
can create an executable JAR file very easily.  Adding this to a future release
of NBJE would be greatly appreciated.

actually when you build the project, the jar file is automatically created for
you (in the dist/ subdirectory of the project), it's just not visible in the UI.

things to consider:
1. where to show it and how?
2. shall there be an explicit action for jar creation apart from this automated
way? (for better discoverability)
3. shall we add UI for configuring the Main-Class manifest entry?
