I would use an ant task...

<zip destfile="${backupJar}" update="true" basedir="${basedir}/../../"
        includes="**/*.xml*, **/*.java"
        compress="true"/>

Remember that a jar is really a zip file with a different extension.

See

http://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/zip.html

EDIT: you specifically asked how to ignore dependencies. This is achieved by using the excludes attribute of the zip task, for example:

    <zip destfile="${backupJar}" update="true" basedir="${remotedir}/../"
        excludes="**/lib/testonly.zip, 
              **/lib/ms*.jar, 
          **/*.tmp" 
        includes="exported/**/*.*, exported/jf123/**/*.*" compress="true"/>

In eclipse, when you are creating a jar file, select option named 'JAR file' and not 'Runnable JAR'. When you click on next, you will get a list of items which you need to include while creating your jar file with a check box in front of each item. Just don't select the items you don't want to export (in your case dependent libraries).

Hope this helps.
