Is there a way to set options allowing the following:

- automatically create a new Jar-Archive upon every build or rebuild
- automatically create a new Jar-Archive upon one or two clicks
- automatically generate the Javadoc documentation upon every build
or rebuild
- automatically generate the Javadoc documentation upon one or two
clicks

I think an ant script will do it. But maybe there is another way.

It would be nice if Eclipse could be set to build a jar file as the
default output

Create an External tool builder that executes an Ant build.
You can set the tool builder to be triggered for any type of build and/or
set a working set of resources that must be changed to for the Ant build to
be triggered.

External tool builders can be created using:
Right click on a project
Select Properties
Select Builders
Click New

Yeah I know that. It would still be nice to be able to have a jar output
target without having to use ant. Its the most common way to distribute
java code, so it does strike me as odd that you can't build a jar
directly (I like using Ant personally, but I imagine some people would
rather avoid the whole malke file style approach - especially newbies)
