BlueJ itself can make JAR files, which are just ZIP files with a few 
extra files added in and so can be handled using standard Windows tools. 
It's even easier if you name the JAR file with a ".zip" extension 
instead of ".jar". Select "Project"/"Create Jar File ...".

Alternatively, the BlueJ Submitter extension allows your students to 
submit their work (including packaging it as a zip file) directly from 
inside BlueJ. See:
