The version control system is easy but a little bit tricky. Also there is the VCS | Import into version control | Share project on Github, I will not use this method since I myself never got it to work.
I will do the best I can to explain this properly but please note that I haven’t figured this out myself yet, I do know how to do it and how to get it work but there are probably better ways to do so. The git integration in Intellij is slightly different from the Eclipse eGit plugin. > then you should see the name of your artifact with some options on the left side, here you should press “build”. When you have done everything right you should now be able to do: Build | Build Artiffacts. Now click on “Artiffacts”, now you should see this:Ĭlick on it and then the wizard should take you trough the setup. When you have done that you should see this window: The first step is creating a build artifact this is how: There are many people that use Intellij but very few of them don’t know how to build with it.

Intellij has build-in ant, maven, groovy, git and android tools. I won’t add any screenshots since I do not find it necessary. Setting up a new project in Intellij is quite easy. If you need any help, feel free to ask below. I will not go any deeper in this subject. (Intellij does not have an export > jar option).

When you want to open up an Eclipse project just follow these steps:ġ.0 Open up Intellij and then click on the “import” button. Intellij provides a build in feature which allows you to open up your Eclipse. Since many of you will be switching over from Eclipse to Intellij I will also explain how to do that, and what you should know.
