Build JAR file with IntelliJ 14: Unable to access jarfile?

I'm trying to generate a JAR file out of a small library I'm writing. I understand that I need to add a custom Run/Debug Configuration to achieve that. So, I added this new JAR Application configuration:

Build Jar Configuration

When I run the module with this configuration, I get this error:

"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79\jre\bin\java" -Dfile.encoding=windows-1256 -jar ""
Error: Unable to access jarfile 

Process finished with exit code 1

I'm not sure why, but I think it has something to do with the warning in the bottom of the screenshot, which I can't figure out why I have it.

After more and more research, It seams that Artifacts are the way to build JAR files in intelliJ IDEA.

  • File | Project Structure | Artifacts.
  • New Artifact -> JAR -> From modules with dependencies
  • Select the lib module, then click Ok
  • And when you want to generate the JAR: Build | Build artifacts | "artifact name"
