Answer 1

1. add plugin Intellijguar2

2. in Project Structure ->modules->obfuscation press download yguard as it prompts. It brings to a html page where yguard is placed next to right edge of the page. Unzip.Get jar. Navigate to the jar. Set its path. Uncheck pedantic error-checking (optionally) , define project's MainClass. Ok it.

3. Build -> Build project -> build artifacts and get ordinary executable jar. (If you cannot see artifacts enabled in Run menu go to file-> project structure ->artfact and create by + new item with dependensy to the main class)

4. build -> obfuscate *** module

5. Add YourProject/out/production/YourProject/firstfolder_of_packagename containing your project's *.class files(mine was 'uz', e.g.) .

6. Remove Module compile output Assign a path to the jar to be obfuscated below and press 'build'

7. Open obfuscated jar with zip program. Make sure the class files are all obfuscated by JD-GUI app.

8. cut off META-INF folder and add META-INF one from executable inobfuscated jar and also folders like libs or assets(or find out them in artifacts you setup previously) manually. In turn you'll get an obfuscated executable jar E.g. for json lib finally I've got the result view in zip editor:
