Equivalent to Eclipse Classpath Container in Intellij IDEA

Question

I've written an Eclipse plug-in that provides a classpath container (just for the sake of completeness - the CPC gets its knowledge from the local development server). Now I was asked to provide the same functionallity for IntelliJ IDEA.

So does IntelliJ support a similar technology or how would someone implement dynamically computed classpath entries as an intelliJ plug-in.

Thanks in advance for all answers!

Answer 1

You are looking for "Libraries" or "Global Libraries". The group jars and loose classes into collections that your modules can depend on. Libraries are defined for a single project, whereas global libraries are available in every project in IDEA (hence "Global").

You can define both via the Project Settings screen (CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+S).
