In Eclipse, right-click the project in the navigation view 
and select Export... and JAR file.
After Next, specify the Jar file name (I use rails.jar) and select
the files to include.
Another Next, check "Save the description of this JAR..." and
specify a jardesc file name (rails.jardesc).
Then Finish.

Next time, you only have to right-click the jardesc file 
and select "Create JAR" to repeat the process.

To test stand-alone, you obviously have to copy the JAR file
to a different directory.
