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 :)
