Use jar cf jar-file input-file(s). I recommend reading http://www.skylit.com/javamethods/faqs/createjar.html , https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/jar/build.html and Java creating .jar file

If you are using mavan, you can add the next to pom.xml

<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
      <configuration>
        <archive>
          <manifest>
            <mainClass>fully.qualified.MainClass</mainClass>
          </manifest>
        </archive>
        <descriptorRefs>
          <descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef>
        </descriptorRefs>
      </configuration>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>

i want to add a dependency without maven , without access to the source code . — Garsov, Mar 09 '17 at 16:36
