Unzip all your jar files into one directory, then zip them up into one file and change the extension to .jar. Oh wait...

Do you want to keep them as separate assemblies for development and then package as one? If not could you just manually merge it all into one project? Though a pain if they're big projects I guess.

Unfortunately what I really want to do is persuade the IDE to produce one DLL which I can distribute. I don't see any way of doing that - except maybe with a post build event.

Combining .NET assemblys

Not a big deal, but I have a number of small assemblys which I would like to package into 1. Mainly for easier deployment and so that those developing the client app have an easier time of it.

Any suggestions as to how I might be able to do this. Stuffed if I can figure it out. Its still vs.net 2003.

Cheers.

Edit: ILMerge is the sort of thing I'm looking for but I would like to be able to just output the one assembly as a result of the build.
