How to include static resources in IntelliJ from external source?

Question

At my work every project ha have two parts: 1. The project itself; 2. A external folder containing the JS, images and css.

We have an automated process that deploys this parts where they have to be. The first one at Weblogic and the second at Tomcat.

What I want to know is if there is a way to include this external folder with the application statics to the IntelliJ so I can edit them inside the IDE.

Now I'm editing the JS and CSS inside Notepad. And it is very annoying.

Answer 1

You can create another project via File -> Import Project, locate the folder of your static resources, then choose "Create project from existing resources".

You will end up with two projects but it should be easy to toggle between the two.
