The “Order and Export” tab in “Java Build Path”

Question

What\'s the use of \"Order and Export\" tab in \"Java Build Path\" dialog box?

Answer 1

To answer your specific question, if this project were to be added as a dependency for another Java project, the order would be used to resolve classes and packages in this project when running the other project. Those classes and packages are said to be exported to/for the other running project's class path.
