Exporting Archived Files from Eclipse

Today I was working on a quick html site for a friend. After completing the changes I needed to make it was time to send the files off to my friend. Normally I would just pull up explorer, right click and zip the folder using WinZip. Today I stumbled on a better solution using Eclipse and I took some screen shots to share with you. First you just right click on your project and select export.

export

From the export dialog box select Archive File

Finally just select the files you want to export. The default is to select all but you may want to remove some source or build files so this step is nice. You are now ready to export just select a location to save it to,  set a couple of options and you are all done.

Nice one Dan, eclipse is such a powerful build environment. It seems almost like a week doesn't go by without me learning something new and oh so cool about eclipse!

I use this all the time because it seems to nicely strip out any svn data and just export that actual files. While if I zip or copy the directory directly I get all the SVN crap.
