  <p>I want to distrubute my Java program to another person who wants to check out the software, but I don't want to reveal the code, until later if he requests it. How can I send my Java code + few xml files in a folder? </p>
  
  <p>I've been thinking if jar is used for this purpose of distributing progrms. If so, Can it be used in my case? What are the other easy options?</p>
  
  <p>Caveats: I don't have much time to spend. So i need something that can be done fast and is easy and no learning required. Also any links for steps-wise tutorial will be helpful</p>
  
  <p>UPDATE: While making executable jar in Eclipse, is saying: Compile error.</p>
