Packaging and Deploying Java Projects


Java supports an archive file that can be used to group all project files in a compressed file. This single file can be deployed on an end users machine as an application. It can also be downloaded to a browser in a single HTTP transaction.

Deploying a .jar File


You can make your simple archive into an executable .jar file that you can launch with the java command. Before deploying an executable .jar file, you must first create a deployment profile. Deployment profiles are named sets of properties stored as part of the application or projects properties that govern the deployment of a project or application. A deployment profile specifies the format and contents of the archive file that will be created.

Deploying Applications with JDeveloper


The JDeveloper Deployment Profile wizard: Detects interclass dependencies Creates .ear, .war, .jar, or .zip files Enables you to have control over other files added to the deployed archive Enables you to save deployment profile settings in project files:
That simplify redeployment when code changes That can be automatically updated with new classes as they are added to the project
