Converting Projects into Directory-Based Format
Any IntelliJ IDEA project created in the file-based format can be easily converted into the directory-based format, which is more convenient when project settings are frequently modified by the team members.
To convert the file-based project format into the directory-based
-
On the main menu, choose .
IntelliJ IDEA converts the project configuration files and then reopens the project.
- Specify whether you want to open the project in a new window.
When the project is opened, all the project settings are stored in the .xml
files
in the .idea
folder,
and it is now safe to delete the .ipr
and the .iws
files.
