IntelliJ IDEA 12.1.0 Web Help

Use the Dependencies tab of the Module page to configure the module dependencies.

ItemDescription
Module SDK Select the module SDK. (To associate the project SDK with the module, select Project SDK. Note that if you change the project SDK later, the module SDK will change accordingly.)

If the desired SDK is not present in the list, click New and select the necessary SDK type. Then, in the dialog that opens, select the SDK home directory and click OK.

To view or edit the name and contents of the selected SDK, click Edit. (The SDK page will open.)

Table of dependenciesThis table shows all dependencies of the selected module.
10.0+ExportIf this check box is selected, a library is included in the compilation classpath of the dependent modules, as well as the classpath of the module which it is attached to.

If this option in not selected, a library is only included in the compilation classpath of a module which it is attached to. A library is always included in the runtime classpath regardless of the state of the Export check box.

9.0+Scope This check box lets you control the classpath for your module sources and test sources at the build and run phases.
  • Compile The dependency in included in the classpath for your sources and test sources at the compilation and run phases.
  • Test The dependency is included in the classpath only for your test sources at the compilation and run phases.
  • Runtime The dependency is included in the classpath for your sources and test sources but only at the run phase.
  • Provided For your sources, the dependency is included in the classpath only at the compilation phase. This is useful when there is a container (e.g. a web container of an application server) that provides the corresponding dependency at runtime.

    For your test sources, however, the dependency is included in the classpath both at the build and run phases.

addAlt+InsertCommand N; Command EnterUse this icon or shortcut to add a library or a module to the list of the module dependencies. Select one of the following options:
  • Jars or directories. Select this option to create a new module (Java) library. In the dialog that opens, select the necessary files and folders. These may be individual .class, .java, .jar and .zip files, and the directories containing such files.
  • Library. Select this option to use one or more of the existing project or global libraries. (If necessary, you can also choose to create a new module, project or global library.)

    The following is available only in the Ultimate edition of IntelliJ IDEA

    You can also select the libraries belonging to the application servers registered in IntelliJ IDEA. (To register an application server, use the Application Servers page of the Settings dialog.)

  • Module Dependency. Select this option to specify the modules the current module should depend on. See Configuring Module Dependencies and Libraries for details.
deleteAlt+DeleteCommand DeleteUse this icon or shortcut to remove the selected item or items from the list of dependencies.
arrowUparrowDownAlt+UpCommand Up or Alt+DownCommand DownUse these icons or shortcuts to move the selected item one line up or down in the list of dependencies. See Processing Order.
edit1F4F4 Use this icon to open the Configure Library dialog to edit the library.
Dependency storage formatUse this drop-down list to select the format for storing dependencies (as an IntelliJ IDEA module, or as Eclipse project). This option is helpful for the teams that use different development tools.
