I'm wondering if we can work with intelij like we work with eclipse workspace:

In fact , we have a project with multiple dependent modules ( more than 50 modules ), with eclipse I know that we have the principl of workspace so if for example we update a commun module, all other modules which depend on this commun module will be updated ( no need to do : mvn install to update with commun module modification ).

Can we do that with intelij?

Thanks

Yes you can work same like workspace in eclipse. If you want to simulate the Eclipse workflow, you should create an empty project (~ workspace) first:

New Project > Empty Project

Now you can create separate modules to be shown exactly like you want:

Select the top-level directory in the Project tool window and press Alt+Insert or select New | Module from the context menu.

The New Module wizard opens.

From the list on the left, select a module type. Name the new module.

If you want to get the detailed instructions . How to work with modules in intelliJ . It is all shown step by step and clearly on the below link :)

  • does it synchronize the builds ? , if I modify a common module , will I be obliged to do : mvn install on the other modules ? – dreamer Oct 11 '22 at 15:01

    Yes if the modules are connected the changes are synchronised over the whole project as it is set to reload on external changes by default . However, you can go to project settings --> Build, Execution, Deployment --> Build tools and set it to any changes of you want it to reload the project on any changes forcefully :) – Sumit Oct 11 '22 at 15:24
