I always find that the easiest way of building a project (creating your jar) is to use ant. IntelliJ has ant support so it should be straight forward. Just create a new jar ant task and give it the files you want included and then execute the ant script.<br />
<br />
The ant task looks something like this:<br />
<br />
&lt;jar basedir=&quot;${build-location}<wbr />&quot; destfile=&quot;${deploy-locatio<wbr />n}\jarname<wbr />.jar&quot;/&gt;<br />
<br />
<br />
Very simple.

But how can i create a new jar ant task? <br />
I have seen &quot;Create ant file&quot; or something like that in the build menu but it does nothing with outputting &quot;.jar&quot; files.

Development in most programming languages is frequently done with an editor or integrated development environment (IDE). An IDE is a software application that provide comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development. An IDE normally consists of a source code editor, build automation tools and a debugger. XCode, Visual Studio, Adobe Dreamweaver and Eclipse are some of the more popular development tools, but an editor or IDE can be anything from simple text editors to sophisticated programs.

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
