Jeff, Steve, Thank you for taking the time to reply.
However, I am new to eclipse and the last thing I am looking to do is to 
learn ant. I am looking to do everything I need in eclipse. I know about 
the compiling options and the automatic compilation. However what I need 
is to compile the classes needed for that part. For example

-client:
	-file1
	-file2
-server:
	-file1
-commonFiles:
	-file1 ...... -file15
-targetFoleder:

How can I get the client files with th efiles needed from the common, to 
compile into "targetFolder", so that I can create a JAR archieve and do 
the same for th eserver. As I mentioned earlier, is't there a way to do 
this with out ANT, it just adds one more thing to learn now.

Thank you.
