How to make eclipse v3.3.2 to put the path in the jar file?

If I understand your somewhat confusingly worded question, what you are
saying is that when you generate a jar file from Eclipse, the classes are
ending up at the root of the jar file rather than nested in directories
according to their package.

What steps, exactly, did you take in Eclipse to generate the bad jar file?
I can't reproduce your problem. When I select the project in Package
Explorer and use File -> Export -> Java -> Jar File to export, using the
default settings, I get the folder structure as expected.

When I follow those steps, it still works for me.

Are you sure that you are creating a new Java Project, rather than just a
plain Project?

When you import the files, are you importing them from their appropriate
root folder (i.e., c:\win10\JavaSP) or are you starting lower down in the
hierarchy?

Are you importing them into a source folder in the Java Project?

In the Package Explorer view, do you see the files showing up in their
appropriate packages, or are they showing up at the root?

I import the files starting lower down in the hierarchy (i.e.
C:\win10\JavaSP\com\mycomp\crypto) because there are other files
C:\win10\JavaSP\com\mycomp\cryptoext which are used to create another jar.

In the Package Explorer view, the files are showing up at the root.
i.e. I do not see "com" nor "mycomp" nor "crypto" in the "src" and its
subdirectory.

Please help.
Thanks.

If I select "Create complete folder structure" button in "Import", "File
system", then win10.JavaSP.com.mycomp.crypto will be created in Package
Explorer view.
The resultant jar file will also contain the extra path "win10.JavaSP".

Right, so what you've discovered is that if you import, the package
structure of your project will depend on what root you specify; and that
when you export, the folder structure of the jar file will depend on the
package structure of the project.

The rest should be obvious...

It is not obvious to an eclipse newcomer such as me though:(.
I had tried many ways.
1. Create java project with "Project layout", "Create separate folders
for sources and class files", "Folders".
Source folder name "com\mycomp\crypto\jar"
Output folder name "com\mycomp\crypto\jar".
I wonder why two things are created:
com/mycomp/crypto/jar (seem to be a string)
com-mycomp-crypto (seem to be a folder)
Import files to the "com-mycomp-crypto" folder.
Still had problems.

Creating a new source folder does not seem to work so I will try create a
new folder and import files there.

Here's what I'd suggest:

1. Create a new Java project, with separate src and output folders.

2. Copy the Java files you need into that project. You can do this with
Import, or else you can just use the Windows Explorer or a command shell or
whatever, as long as you hit 'F5' in Eclipse afterwards to refresh.

In step 2, you should put the files in a folder structure corresponding to
the package structure you want. So, if your workspace is c:\workspaceA, and
the project is named "foo", the root of the package structure would then be
c:\workspaceA\foo\src; and if you have a class named X.java that is in
package com.xyz.px, it should go in the folder
c:\workspaceA\foo\src\com\xyz\px.

If you use Import to copy the files into the project, you need to import
from the root of the imported project. For instance, if you are importing
the source for com.xyz.px.X, and it is in
c:\stuff\and\junk\com\xyz\px\X.java, you would need to import from
c:\stuff\and\junk, so that the imported file's relative location is
com\xyz\px\X.java.

It would be nice if the Eclipse import wizard were smart enough to open up
the file, see the 'package com.xyz.px;' directive, and put the file in the
appropriate folder no matter where it came from. But it's not,
unfortunately. This would be a good enhancement request.

If you want to explore packages and folders a bit, one approach would be to
go through some of the Eclipse Java tutorials (in the Help, or from the
welcome screen that shows when you create a new workspace), and watch what
happens on disk as you create Java files in Eclipse.

I agree 100% with you that "It would be nice if the Eclipse import wizard

directive, and put the file in the appropriate folder no matter where it
