LibGDX and tiled maps (.tmx)

[cheatsguy]

Hey everyone, I was wondering about using tiledmaps with libgdx, and looking on the wiki, it explained I needed the TiledMapPacker.jar to package them. My question is, Where can I find it? A google search yielded no results and I can't find it amongst the other files for the lib. Alternately, does anyone know how I could package the maps myself to achieve this effect?

You can use Tiled for making .tmxs - http://www.mapeditor.org/
I believe TiledMapPacker is in the gdx-tiled-preprocessor jar.
