You can package your application into a JAR file using the JDK’s jar tool. As with all things Java, you can do this from the command line, but IntelliJ IDEA makes it easier.
- [Instructor] You can package your application…into a JAR archive file using the JDK's JAR Tool.…As with all things Java, though,…you can do this from the command line,…but a good Java IDE will make it easier.…Here's how to build a JAR file in IntelliJ IDEA.…I'm starting in an application that has multiple classes,…Main and Person, and also has a dependent library,…the Gson library that I integrated earlier.…I'll test the application to make sure it works.…And if that Run button isn't enabled for you,…go to the menu and choose Run…and then the second Run menu choice and choose Main.…
So now I've verified that the application will run,…and I'm ready to create the JAR file.…I'll go to my Project Structure dialog,…and I'll click on the Artifacts category.…I'll click Plus.…Then I'll choose JAR.…And then From modules with dependencies.…My module JAR file has a dependency, the Gson library.…I need to select my Main class,…the class that contains my Main method.…I'll browse and choose Main.…For JAR files from libraries, you have two options.…
