Eclipse create runnable jar problem

Question

Ok I created a new Java project in Eclipse with Java class and its main method. Then when doing an export - runnable jar I do not see my new project being listed in the "Launch Configurations" drop down. I can see other projects but not the newly created one.

I'm I missing something?

public class SSLTest {
   public static void main(String[] args)  {
}
}

Did you run SSLTest in Eclipse? I think you need to run that class (through the Run menu) in order for Eclipse to create a launch configuration.

+1 Yup, you need to create a launch config in order for it to be available to export. – Poindexter Feb 17 '10 at 17:25

Go to Run as-> Run as Java Application your java file having main class. There you go -> Now you can see your project listed in "Launch Configurations" when you try to export as runnable jar file.

This was the key for me. The configuration was not available as I was always running my class as a TestNG test. Once I ran it as a Java Application I was able to see the launch configuration when exporting to jar. – moo moo Sep 18 '13 at 06:57

In eclipse there are different categories of run configurations. "Eclipse Application" configs can't be used to create runnable jars. You need to have a "Java Application" configuration.
