Quarkus run configuration
The Quarkus run/debug configuration defines how to run your Quarkus application in IntelliJ IDEA. It is automatically created if your project contains Quarkus dependencies. This run configuration runs your Quarkus application in development mode enabling live reload.
Main parameters
Item | Description |
|---|---|
Name | Specify a name for the run configuration to quickly identify it among others when editing or running. |
Run on | Select the target environment where you want to run the configuration. Besides running it locally, you can select to run your application on a remote machine via SSH or in a Docker container. For more information, refer to Run targets. |
Store as project file | Save the run configuration settings to a file that you can share with other team members. The default location is .idea/runConfigurations. However, if you do not want to share the .idea directory, you can save the configuration to any other directory within the project. By default, this option is disabled, and IntelliJ IDEA stores run configuration settings in .idea/workspace.xml. |
Application module | Select the root module of the application. |

Quarkus Application run configuration
IntelliJ IDEA also comes with the Quarkus Application run configuration. It is automatically created when you run your application from the Run gutter icon 
in a class annotated with @QuarkusMain.
Unlike the Quarkus run configuration, which uses build tool tasks to start the application, the Quarkus Application uses the java command.
This run configuration is almost identical to the Application run configuration; refer to it for description of the run configuration parameters.
