[Newbie] I finished coding, how do I send the program to a friend

[NorahDrak]

Hello,

I'm new to programming in general and to Java in particular.

I just finished my first program (I coded it on eclipse) and I want to save it and send the program to my friend.

How can I finish the whole thing and start using it as an independent program?

Thank you and sorry if I sound so ignorant. I'm a beginner.

Go to Eclipse. Then go to File > Export > Java > .jar

Save as just a .jar or a .jar/.zip

and then sent it to him via email, dropbox, etc
