Is there a way to use a class's methods in other classes from another projects?

Question

I have been learning java for a while and I'm still a newbie. I have written a few classes which are quite useful for me and I was wondering if there is any way the I can use their methods in other projects. Any help will be appreciated.

UPDATE

I created the jar file but I can't import it. I read this but for some reason it didn't work. I use eclipse

you can export the project as JAR file. And add it to the project that needs it. — Rohit Jain, Aug 08 '13 at 11:46

The canonical way would be to put those classes in a jar file, and include that in your other projects.

Might be worth mentioning the build path etc. – christopher Aug 08 '13 at 11:46
How do you do that exactly? Is there a way to add them to the java.util package? – armin Aug 08 '13 at 11:55
@armin Why would you do that, you can just use your own packages. – Mark Rotteveel Aug 08 '13 at 12:00
@Mark Rotteveel I want to know if there is any way that doesn't involve manually adding them ( or the jar file ) – armin Aug 08 '13 at 12:01
