Git with Eclipse (EGit) This tutorial describes the usage of EGit; an Eclipse plug-in to use the distributed version control system Git. This tutorial is based on Eclipse 4.2 (Juno).
The Fat Jar Eclipse Plug-In is a Deployment-Tool which deploys an Eclipse java-project into one executable jar.
It adds the Entry "Build Fat-JAR" to the Export-Wizard.
In addition to the eclipse standard jar-exporter referenced classes and jars are included to the "Fat-Jar", so the resulting jar contains all needed classes and can be executed directly with "java -jar", no classpath has to be set, no additional jars have to be deployed.
