Templates projects are projects that can be opened from the menu>new. They are stored in the registry, and added by Plugins.

Exports the compiled classes of the project to a given .jar file. The archive can be used in other java applications (such as another project).
Export as Module library
Exports the current project as a module library.
Module libraries are projects exported to be usable by any other project. When exported as a library, all types (such as classes and modules) and resources (including images, shaders, and more) become available for import. These libraries can be added in GroIMP as plugins, allowing all their types to be used as plugin imports.
These libraries are called module lib.
