Need help with "Ready to program java"

[jattdaboi]

So we use "Ready to program java" at school to code java .. however our teacher is not teaching us yet how to make a jar file. so i tried googling , and only found ways to do it in eclipse or netbean, but it is different for ready to program java. if someone used it or uses it , can you explain how to make a jar file out of the hsa console application ?

thanks.

As far as I can tell, RTP doesn't provide any tools to generate a JAR file. This is probably because RTP is completely obsolete and lacks (basically any) features.

A JAR file is just a zip archive with some special meaning to the files it contains. You can create them from the command line (see http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/jar/build.html). If you do that, then you will need to include the class files from your RTP install: (rtp install directory)/Support/Ready Classes/hsa/ to have support for hsa.Console, etc.

Oh ok, and do I need to include all of the class files in that folder or just the console.java ?

You should include all of them, because Console depends on other classes there.

Ok thank you very much!

I can't guarantee that will work (it should, but I can't be certain).

That will also not create an executable JAR file, so double-clicking on it will do nothing.
