Saving Projects as Templates
Overview
You can save a project as a template. If you do so, you'll be able to create template-based projects and modules, that is, the projects and modules that are nearly identical to the template project.
The projects that you have saved as templates appear in the User-defined category in the New Project and the New Module wizards.
Unnecessary templates can be deleted in the Manage Project Templates Dialog.
Creating a project template
- Open the desired project in IntelliJ IDEA.
- In the main menu, select .
- In the Save Project As Template Dialog that opens:
- Specify the template name and optionally provide a brief template description.
- Specify whether the entire project or only one of its modules should be used as a basis for the new template. (This option is available only for projects that contain more than one module.)
Deleting a project template
- In the main menu, select .
- In the Manage Project Templates Dialog that opens, select the template or templates you want to delete.
