You can't build virtual appliances using esx 3.x, but you can run virtual appliances in esx VI3 evvironment.
There are couple of ways by which you can create a virtual appliances:
The first one for the layman, is by just creating a virtual machine and installing the required /desired application/sw on top of that, once this installation is done, the whole package of virtual machine (vmdk's and vmx files) could be packed using different comprssion tools like zip/tar/rar/ovf etc.
The other and the recommended way to create a VA (appliance) is by using the tool known as VMware studio, which is supoorted by VMware and its and intelligent /smart / powerful tool to create and custmize your VA.
Some other tools are also available but i would recommend only VMware studio and if not that then only rpath.
please mark it and give the score if it is useful for you.
