When you export code to a directory or to a Jar file, you can optionally also export resource files that the code uses.
If you are using
shared resources, and select to export both local and shared copies of the same resource
file, only the local copy will be exported.
To export resource files:
The resource files will be copied to the target directory. The bytecode will be exported to .class files in a subdirectory of the target directory. The subdirectory is named after the package containing the class. Periods in the package name become new subdirectories. For example, if you export a class named Class1 in a package named My.Package to a target directory c:\IBMVJava\ide\export, then the Class1.class file will be in c:\IBMVJava\ide\export\My\Package.
