1. From the main menu, select File | Project Structure Ctrl+Shift+Alt+S and click Artifacts.

2. Click , point to JavaFx Application, and select From module '...'.

   

   IntelliJ IDEA creates the artifact configuration and shows its settings in the right-hand part of the Project Structure dialog.

3. Name the new configuration.

4. Switch to the Java FX tab and in the Application class field, specify the main() method.

5. Apply the changes and close the dialog.

   

Build the artifact

1. From the main menu, select Build | Build Artifacts.

2. In the popup that opens, select the necessary artifact and select Build.

By default, the artifact is generated to <project_folder>\out\artifacts\<artifact_name>.
