# Create JAR from modules dialog > **TL;DR** > `File | Project Structure | Artifacts |` `| JAR | From modules with dependencies` Use this page to specify the settings for your Java archive (JAR). For more information about creating and running the JAR file, refer to [Create an artifact configuration for the JAR](compiling-applications.html#configure_artifact). | Item | Description | | --- | --- | | Module | The module that you want to package. | | Main class | The fully qualified name of your main application class, the one with the `main()` method. | | JAR files from libraries | The way the JAR files from the module libraries are processed: * extract to the target JAR. The JAR contents are decompressed and then packaged together with the module output in a single JAR. * copy to the output directory and link via manifest. The JAR files are copied to the artifact output directory as is. The references to the JARs are added to the `Class-Path` header field of the `MANIFEST.MF` file that is packaged in the same JAR as the module output. | | Directory for META-INF/MANIFEST.MF | The path to the directory in which `META-INF/MANIFEST.MF` is generated. If you build your JAR file with IntelliJ IDEA, IntelliJ IDEA will pick the location to the `MANIFEST.MF` file automatically. If you use other build systems such as Gradle or Maven, you need to use the `resources` folder to store the `MANIFEST.MF` file. | | Include tests | Include the module's compiled test classes. | For more information about creating and building a JAR artifact, refer to [Packaging the application in a JAR](creating-and-running-your-first-java-application.html#package). ## See also ### Procedures [Artifacts](working-with-artifacts.html)
