Creating and Deploying a Simple Archive to the File System

To create and deploy a simple archive in JDeveloper:

Choose File | New to open the New Gallery.
In the Categories tree, expand General and select Deployment Profiles. In the Items list, double-click JAR File - Simple Archive.
If the category or item isn't found, make sure the correct project is selected, and choose All Technologies in the Filter By dropdown list.
Click OK.
Specify a location for the deployment profile or accept the defaults.

The deployment profile is named with a .deploy filename extension.
Click Save.
The JAR Deployment Profile Properties panel displays. Configure the settings for each page as appropriate.
Click OK when you are done.
The newly created deployment profile appears in the Navigator below the specified project.
Select and right-click the deployment profile in the Navigator.
Choose the Deploy to JAR file option. By default, the simple archive is deployed in the current project's deploy directory.

To o make changes to the profile, select it in the the Navigator, right click, and choose Properties, or double click on the profile in the Navigator.
