For Intellij IDEA version 11.0.2

File | Project Structure | Artifacts then you should press alt+insert or click the plus icon and create new artifact choose --> jar --> From modules with dependencies.

Next goto Build | Build artifacts --> choose your artifact.

You didn't specify your IDEA version. Before 9.0 use Build | Build Jars, in IDEA 9.0 use Project Structure | Artifacts.
