Create a jar file from the java code

Question

i want to create a jar file from java program i looked at some examples Java code to create a JAR file but it didnt impressed me as this will not create the proper package structure my original command was

jar -cfv formBuilder.jar .\com\accenture\* .\com\wysiwyg\util\XmlUtil.class  .\com\wysiwyg\exception\ApplicationException.class .\com\wysiwyg\constants\*.class .\com\wysiwyg\util\FormBuilderUtill.class .\com\wysiwyg\util\SaveFormOnLocalUtil.class .\com\wysiwyg\logger\LogInfo.class  .\com\wysiwyg\factory\Validation.class

now i want to do the same using java code but without ant, and proper package structures should be created, is this feasible?

Oracle (Sun) doucument can't be more detailed. Go through: download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/jar More precisely, download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/jar/build.html — Nishant

Use java.util.jar package for this work.

The java.util.jar package has some very good uses. This is not one of them.

yep, this is not right. Use Jar tool, it's messy but that's the way. Better use some smart tool like ANT or Maven.
