Create Java projects without eclipse?
<p>Is there any way I can create Java projects using a simple text editor? Not an IDE like eclipse?</p>

<p>I want to be able to create <code>.jar</code> files without the assistance of an IDE, I have all the JDK commands installed already on my computer (such as <code>javac</code>)</p>

<p>I'd like to know what file structure I need, how I need to arrange my class files, what compilation steps I need to go through etc. to be able to create jar files.</p>
