Intellij and multiple projects

leave a comment »

I am new to Intellij, I started using it since few days. I see you can start quickly working on a new project and you can have multiple windows for multiple projects. So far so good.

Usually I have one big maven project composed of many submodules, so I was quite happy with this one project one window approach.

Now I changed team and the approach is different here, different repos with different projects, and one references the other. Having one window one project was not nice anymore. I started looking for something similar to eclipse tree.

It is actually easy to do that. You just need to create one empty project. Then you create a new module from existing sources, for each of the project you want to import. And that’s all, you have many projects in the same window.

But this is not fitting to what I need. I realized that clicking on one class brings to decompiled sources and not to the real sources contained in another module… I definitively need to take more time exploring Intellij, and getting used to how it works.
