Code reuse is one of the most important factors in software development. It is a very good idea to put frequently-used functions together and build a library for yourself. Whenever some method is used, just simply make a method invocation.
For Java, it’s straightforward to manage such a library. Here a simple example in Eclipse.
The library will contain only one “add” method.
Step 1: Create a “Java Project” named as “MyMath”, and a simple “add” method under “Simple” class.
Package structure is as follows:
Simple.java
|
Step 2: Export as a .jar file.
Right Click the project and select “export”, a window is show as follows.
Following the wizard, to get the .jar file.
Step 3: Use the jar file.
Right click the target project, and select “Build Path”->”Add External Archives”->following wizard to add the jar file.
Now you can make a simple method call.
