What is the use of Order And Export tab in Java Build Path

Answer

Michael Borgwardt picture Michael Borgwardt · Apr 29, 2010

It allows you to do two things:

  • Determine in which order projects and libraries appear in the classpath. If there are any duplicate classes, this determines which version is loaded
  • Determine which projects and libraries will be exported and thus available in other projects that depend on this one.
