[SOLVED] Bulk Java Project Module Import in Intellij IDEA

Bulk Java Project Module Import in Intellij IDEA

I have 71 plain Java projects in a folder. In Eclipse, I can use the 'import existing projects into workspace' feature to load all Java projects into my Eclipse instance at once.

Is there a similar feature in IntelliJ IDEA? I know that IDEA uses modules, and I can add each project individually as a module, but is there a way to import multiple modules at once?

My folder structure is as follows:

/Projects/JavaProject1/src/Main.java
/Projects/JavaProject2/src/Main.java
......

I followed this Stack Overflow thread link and wanted to know if there is any bulk module import option in IntelliJ IDEA.

Solution

You can try the new Workspace plugin.

From the blog post on [How to use workspaces]:(https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2024/08/workspaces-in-intellij-idea/#how-to-use-workspaces)

Create a workspace as a new project type.
Give your workspaces folder a name and add all required projects to it. There are some current limitations described in the blog post.
