I am developing a JavaFX application that has a lot of libs. If i run it inside intellij it works ok, but when i build the JavaFX application it only builds the .JAR of the project files, it doesn't even copy the libraries to the OUT folder. How can i solve this?

The sequence below worked for me on a Mac with Idea 13.1, no guarantees it will work on anything else (it's all one big continuous process of button clicks):
File Menu | Project Structure | Artifacts | + Button | JavaFx Application | From module... | Choose Module | Output Layout Tab | + Button | Library Files | Choose Libraries | JavaFX Tab | Choose an Application Class | Make any changes needed | Apply | OK | Build Menu | Build Artifacts | Choose your new artifact | Choose Build
Built artifact including any libraries will end up in your project out/artifacts directory.
If you want to make it so that others who don't use Idea could also build your project then you could investigate usage of a 3rd party JavaFX build tool, such as the JavaFX Gradle plugin or the Oracle JavaFX deployment toolkit.
