Question

Hello all how can I create jar file of my project that is created in android using eclipse. I have done in this way project -> right-click->export –> select builder –>antbuilder–>ok then after this process build.xml will be created. On bulid.xml I will create new builder.

• Right click on project -> properties –> select new –>give build.xml and your project path and press ok, new builder will be created.
• Now select that builder from project properties and press ok.
• Now build your project and your jar will be created in bin folder.

I have followed above process but my jar is not found in bin folder. I can see my build.xml is created and all process goes smooth but still jar is not created. Can any one tell me how can I do this?

My build.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<!-- WARNING: Eclipse auto-generated file.
              Any modifications will be overwritten.
              To include a user specific buildfile here, simply create one in the same
              directory with the processing instruction <?eclipse.ant.import?>
              as the first entry and export the buildfile again. -->

In Eclipse, select project, right click on the project, Select Export, From that select Jar. Then follow the simple wizard and give the destination where you want to save your jar, and finish. You can find your jar there.
