Help - Compile .java classes to .jar [Intellij]

[Viston]

So I'm trying to compile my classes using intellij's artifacts. However, when I go to Project Settings > Artifacts > Jar > From modules to dependencies  > Main Class > *MY CLASS*.

I get an error saying:

Never actually had the need to export to .jar, so I'm pretty much in the blank.

Download Eclipse, Link folder - .Jar w/ that. I had to create an individual project each time to .Jar w/ IntelliJ

This is terrible advice

Just ignore that warning and press OK. Your jar will function fine.

Here is how to do it:

1. Open module settings (F4), or right click on a module and select open module settings

2. Navigate to the artifacts tab on the left

3. Click the green + symbol and select JAR -> Empty

4. Move the compiled output of the module you want to put into the .jar from the available elements (on the right) into the .jar (on the left) by double clicking on it

 

5. Set the name of your .jar, and change the output directory to the scripts folder:

 

6. Select apply.

7. To then build your script, in the navbar select Build -> Build Artifacts... -> Select the artifact you want to build

Doesn't this compile all the scripts in the packages inside Intellij into the .jar file?

No, it will only include what you tell it to include.

If you make each of your scripts it's own module, then you can include each individual module in a different .jar

Notice how I have one .jar for my AIO script and another for my walking script.

 I used IntelliJ, Jar'd all my privates. Guarantee there's a risk he'll do the same.
