Intellij Jar Manual Process So

I think it is also good to the manual process so you are not dependent on any undercover magic.

In the Output Layout tab, under the Available Elements panel, select any 3rd party JAR files that youd like to include with your JAR file and choose Put into Output Root in the context which appears when you right click on your selection.

These JAR files will now be present in the same directory as the compiled output of your code.

This is slightly different from how Eclipse does it where all JARs are extracted into a single runnable JAR.

To do that, click the Create Archive button in the Output Layout tab.

Here your-name would the value that you entered in the previous step.

MF file from the project if it already has one or create a new one.

As for the class path, I just enter the name of each JAR file that Ive included in the project.

You will now see IDEA create the artifcat in the.outartifacts.

When you execute the JAR file from the command line, you can see that everything works perfectly.
