[news.eclipse.newcomer] Eclipse how to: compile a single file or only fe

[Mansour <mansour@xxxxxxx>]

Hi EveryBody:
I am very new to eclipse. I found it popular and alot of companies are 
encouraging and requesting hteir deevelopers to be comfortable with this 
 IDE. I decided to give it a shot. It's very rich that it takes alot of 
time (at least for me) to find out how perform a simple task. The 
problem I came accross now is how to compile only few files. For 
example, assuming I'm developing a project for a client/server 
transaction, or a small chat program, and I need to get the files needed 
 only to test the client, how do I get around compiling htese files. If 
we take the chat room example, I have a client, server, and a package 
that contains the java classes need by both.

- client
	-file1
	-file2
-server
	-file1
	-file2
	-file3
-common
	-file1
	-file 15

Now I need to compile the classes for client then package them into a 
jar file. Do the same for the server. Any one knows if this is possible 
with eclipse, or any idea ??
Thanx in advance.
