CreateaJavaarchive(.jar)fileusingNetBeansasfollows:

1.RightclickontheProjectname
2.SelectProperties
3.ClickPackaging
4.CheckBuildJARafterCompiling
5.CheckCompressJARFile
6.ClickOKtoacceptchanges
7.RightclickonaProjectname
8.SelectBuildorCleanandBuild

CleanandBuildwillfirstdeletebuildartifacts(suchas .class files),whereasBuildwillretain


anyexisting .class files,creatingnewversionsnecessary.Toelucidate,imagineaprojectwith
twoclasses,AandB.

Whenbuiltthefirsttime,theIDEcreates A.class and B.class .Nowyoudelete B.java but


don'tclearout B.class .ExecutingBuildshouldleave B.class inthebuilddirectory,andbundle
itintotheJAR.SelectingCleanandBuildwilldelete B.class .Since B.java wasdeleted,no
longerwill B.class bebundled.

TheJARfileisbuilt.ToviewitinsideNetBeans:

1.ClicktheFilestab
2.ExpandProjectname>>dist

Ensurefilesaren'tbeingexcludedwhenbuildingtheJARfile.
