idea 单独引入jar,在IntelliJ IDEA中将外部库添加到工件jar

How can I add an external library to a project in IntelliJ IDEA so that when I build an artifact it still has access to the classes in the library?

I have created a new Jar artifact from Project Structure, then added the external JAR to the Libraries, then checked it in the Modules List, and finally added it to the Output for the Artifact. None of these work. When I build and try running my application, it throws an error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:

What am I missing, or am I doing this completely wrong?

You have 2 options here:

extract the dependency into the artifact jar so that the app is the single executable jar with all the dependencies

link the dependent jars via the Manifest.MF and copy them near the application main jar

I've prepared a sample project that demonstrates both approaches: HelloWithDependencies.zip.

The artifacts are produced into out\single and out\linked directories.
