Distributable JAR file in Netbeans IDE 6.8

[adi.shoukat]

I've developed a Netbeans project running perfectly fine. But I want to make a Stand Alone Jar file of this project so that it can be run on any computer.

I've seen a lot of tutorials on internet but all of them say that Netbeans will create JAR file in a folder named 'dist'. But I don't see any 'dist' folder in my project folder.

Can anyone please help me about this??

Hi Mike,
Thanks for your interest to help me. You got very close to the solution of my problem. Rather i'd say you solved it

But fortunately I've got the solution somehow. I a posting the solution here in case if any1 else face the same problem in future, it would be helpful.

In fact I made a mistake and I presumed that Netbeans automatically builds the code when you directly run it. But in fact when you directly press the run button, Netbeans tries to build the code, if there are some code errors it launches the last successful build.
I had some errors in the code and that's why Netbeans was Launching older build every time.
When I just pressed 'clean and build' then I found those errors in the output window. I resolved them ... then the code was built successfully and finally the dist folder was visible
