A question regarding Java project in ECLIPSE IDE
A question regarding eclipse.
No offence meant.
I have added a jar file to the current project in its build path.
This executes the concerned class file which is in the jar file.
If I remove the jar file from the build path and run the project,
it still executes that class file.
I tried building a clean project and running it,but still executes the jar file and the class.
Any idea why this is happening?

People are not usually offended by Eclipse.

You have that class file elsewhere
or you have confused your problem statement.
Why don't you create a new project and add everything except that class/jar (whichever yu mean)
Where is that JAR located?
> Any idea why this is happening?
If that .jar file is stored in your JAVA_HOME/lib or JAVA_HOME/lib/ext
directory you don't need to put it on your build path because your JVM
will check those locations anyway. Whether or not that location is a
good one for that .jar file is another question.
Go to your project properties, select 'build path' and check out if eclipse
considers that .jar of yours to be part of the JRE (there's a little plus
sign you can click next to the JRE entry).

I have 2 projects in eclipse:
MyTests
Rel800 (which contains all the original jars and code)
I have created my classes in the MyTests,compile them.
MyTests have a dependency on Rel800
Then I go to the DOS prompt and create a jar file.
I copy the jar file to the jar folder of Rel800.
Then thru eclipse, I go to Rel800->properties->buildpath->libraries>add external libraires.
If I remove the jar file from REL800,it still executes that class.
> MyTests have a dependency on Rel800That's the one: you told eclipse that MyTests need another project namedRel800. You should remove that dependency also.kind regards,Jos

But if I remove the dependency,then how will it run the application.
MyTests has a dependency on Rel800
Then I create a new Run window (ie via Debug)
Project : MyTests
Main class: com.apps.Startup.
Becos of the dependency,it can execute com.apps.Startup which is in the REL800 project.
Remember,MyTests will contain 2 or 3 classes at most.

Someone should take your computer away.
1) You can use Eclipse to create JARs
2) If you don't want your stuff to get the classes, don't add the classes
3) If you do want your stuff to get the classes, add them, one way or the other. Make up your mind.
