How to build generated and executable jar file

What I need to know is

how to clean dir
how to put all files in jar and make it executable

Sorry people i didnt mentioned, i need do this programmatically in java code.

Are you using any IDE like eclipse? If you are using, you can export the classes as executable jar while specifying one main class as entrant. — MaheshVarma, Sep 12 '13 at 11:56

If you're using an IDE such as Eclipse or Netbeans, there are specific easier ways to do it. If not I think the following command would work: jar cfe <jar-file> <main-class-name> <class-files...>
