    Does anyone here know how to create a JAR file in Java.

    I have a Swing Application with 2 classes and I want ot be able to run it by clicking on it once. I tried the command jar -cvf Application.jar Class1.class Class2.class

    This didnt work though, there was an error message. I have looked on the web and there hasnt been a single simple explanation out there. Any help appreciated, thanks.

    Normally use ANT though to create my jar files.

    But doesn't ANT just use the Jar utility at the end of the day. Before that you'd have to write your xml build scripts. I use ANT also, but it's best to learn how to use a tool in isolation before linking it in with others for the sake of automation.

    Sun's tutorial on how to use the Jar utility is here

    HTH ;)
