No need for external plugins. In the **Export JAR** dialog, make sure you select *all* the necessary resources you want to export. By default, there should be no problem exporting other resource files as well (pictures, configuration files, etc...), see screenshot below.

Go to file-&gt;export-&gt;JAR file, there you may select &quot;Export generated class files and sources&quot; and make sure that your project is selected, and all folder under there are also! Good luck!

[FatJar][1] can help you in this case.

In addition to the&quot;Export as Jar&quot; function which is included to Eclipse the Plug-In bundles all dependent JARs together into one executable jar.  
The Plug-In adds the Entry &quot;Build Fat Jar&quot; to the Context-Menu of Java-projects

This is useful if your final exported jar includes other external jars.

If you have Ganymede, the Export Jar dialog is enough to export your resources from your project.

After Ganymede, you have:

One more option is [WinRun4J][1]. There is an [Eclipse Plugin for WinRun4J][2] that allows you to export your application as a single executable with necessary jars/classes embedded.

I&#39;m taking over a development of a commercial web site. This site was developed over two years by another programmer. It&#39;s mostly a one-man job (maintain and expand the site). I&#39;ll have a 2-3 days transition period when the other programmer will show me the system. But from what I know, there is little documentation. Everything is in the code (which is kind of documented). Here is  what I&#39;m planning to ask so far:

 - Explanation on the most complex elements of the system
 - Description of the overall architecture
 - Description of the support tools (IDE setup, unit tests, deployment
   mechanism)
 - Any book, website, podcast he used to influence the architecture of the
   system

Any other I&#39;m missing?

[EDIT] Thanks everyone. Lost of good propositions. I wished I could accept more than one answer! Additionally, I would also add: 

 - What have you done specifically to improve the performance of the system, and where is the bottleneck right now?
 - Related to that, what have you done regarding the security of the system? (what have you done, and where are the security holes right now)

One last thing: the developer said that he will be available to to answer my questions later on if I need it. It&#39;s his &quot;baby&quot; after all. But I really think that in 6 months he will have moved on and his availability will be much more reduced!



Taking over a project - What should I ask the previous programmer?

If I have a class as follows

       class Example_Class 
       {
           private:
             int x; 
             int y; 
           public: 
             Example_Class() 
             { 
                 x = 8;
                 y = 9;
             }
           ~Example_Class() 
           { } 
       };

And a struct as follows

    struct
    {
       int x;
       int y;
    } example_struct;

Is the structure in memory of the  `example_struct` simmilar to that in `Example_Class`

for example if I do the following

    struct example_struct foo_struct;
    Example_Class foo_class = Example_Class();
    
    memcpy(&amp;foo_struct, &amp;foo_class, sizeof(foo_struct));

will `foo_struct.x = 8` and `foo_struct.y = 9` (ie: the same values as the x,y values in the foo_class) ?

The reason I ask is I have a C++ library (don&#39;t want to change it) that is sharing an object with C code and I want to use a struct to represent the object coming from the C++ library. I&#39;m only interested in the attributes of the object.

I know the ideal situation would be to have Example_class wrap arround a common structure between the C and C++ code but it is not going to be easy to change the C++ library in use.

Structure of a C++ Object in Memory Vs a Struct

I&#39;m trying to export a program in Eclipse to a jar file. 

In my project I have added some pictures and PDF:s. When I&#39;m exporting to jar file, it seems that only the `main` has been compiled and exported. 

My will is to export everything to a jar file if it&#39;s possible, because then I want to convert it to an extraditable file, like .exe-file.

But how?

Using Eclipse I want to view the source code for a core Java class (E.g. `java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap`) but when I navigate to the source using &#39;Open Declaration&#39; it says &#39;Source not found&#39; and gives me the option to attach the source.

My question is; how do i attach the source? Where do i get the source .jar from for the `java.util.concurrent` library?

Building on what has been written in SO question [Best Singleton Implementation In Java](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70689/best-singleton-implementation-in-java) - namely about using an enum to create a singleton - what are the differences/pros/cons between (constructor omitted)

    public enum Elvis {
        INSTANCE;
        private int age;

        public int getAge() {
            return age;
        }
    }

and then calling `Elvis.INSTANCE.getAge()`

and

    public enum Elvis {
        INSTANCE;
        private int age;

        public static int getAge() {
            return INSTANCE.age;
        }
    }

and then calling `Elvis.getAge()`

Why doesn&#39;t Java include support for unsigned integers?  

It seems to me to be an odd omission, given that they allow one to write code that is less likely to produce overflows on unexpectedly large input.  

Furthermore, using unsigned integers can be a form of self-documentation, since they indicate that the value which the unsigned int was intended to hold is never supposed to be negative.  

Lastly, in some cases, unsigned integers can be more efficient for certain operations, such as division.  

What&#39;s the downside to including these?

So my 2009 new years resolution is to learn Java.  I recently acquired &quot;Java for Dummies&quot; and have been following along with the demo code in the book by re-writing it using Eclipse.  Anyway, every example in the book that uses a relative path does not seem to read the .txt file it&#39;s supposed to read from.

Here is the sample code:

    import java.util.Scanner;
    import java.io.File;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import javax.swing.JFrame;
    import javax.swing.JLabel;
    import java.awt.GridLayout;
    
    class TeamFrame extends JFrame {
    
    	public TeamFrame() throws IOException {
            PlayerPlus player;
            Scanner myScanner = new Scanner(new File(&quot;Hankees.txt&quot;));
    
            for (int num = 1; num &lt;= 9; num++) {
                player = new PlayerPlus(myScanner.nextLine(), myScanner.nextDouble());
                myScanner.nextLine();
                addPlayerInfo(player);
            }      
            
            add(new JLabel());
            add(new JLabel(&quot;   ------&quot;));
            add(new JLabel(&quot;Team Batting Aberage:&quot;));
            add(new JLabel(PlayerPlus.findTeamAverageString()));
            setTitle(&quot;The Hankees&quot;);
            setLayout(new GridLayout(11,2));
            setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
            pack();
            setVisible(true);
        }
         
        void addPlayerInfo(PlayerPlus player) {
            add(new JLabel(player.getName()));
            add(new JLabel(player.getAverageString()));
        }
    }

And you can see in the below screen shot I have included this file.

*image no longer available*

Also, I have verified that when I build the application that a copy of Hankees.txt is placed in the bin folder with the compiled .class files.

Lastly, if I change line 12 to the following and place Hankees.txt in the root of my C:\ drive the program compiles and runs fine.

    Scanner myScanner = new Scanner(new File(&quot;C:\\Hankees.txt&quot;));

So basically, my question is what am I doing wrong?  Or is Eclipse responsible for this in some way?

Thanks for any and all help!

I&#39;ve always found the eclipse&#39;s automatic close quotes and parenthesis features to be useless. For example hitting on a single &quot; will lead to

I don&#39;t need the second quote.  It&#39;s annoying to remove afterward.  How to turn this feature off?

If I have a Windows executable, how can I find out which dlls it will load?

This is a batch file in Windows.

Here is my .bat file        

    @echo off
    copy &quot;C:\Remoting.config-Training&quot; &quot;C:\Remoting.config&quot;
        
    &quot;C:\ThirdParty.exe&quot;

This works fine except the .bat file leaves the command window open the whole time the &quot;ThirdParty&quot; application is running.  
I need the command window to close. 

I would use the short-cut for the application but I must be able to run this copy command first (it actually changes which data base and server to use for the application).  

The ThirdParty application does not allow the user to change the source of the db or the application server.  

We&#39;re doing this to allow users to change from a test environment to the production environment.

I&#39;d like to create a Windows .exe for a Java program. Previously, I&#39;ve used JEXECreator for this, but it&#39;s not entirely satisfactory because:

- The executable sometimes works on the machine on which it was created but not on others.
- The program is commercial; if you use the trial version, it adds a nag screen to your application.

I don&#39;t need the generated .exe to work if Java is not installed on the target machine (in fact, I think this is impossible).
