Importing Eclipse Project

Importing an existing Eclipse project consists of opening the project in IntelliJ IDEA and creating the files which MidPoint Studio needs.

To migrate existing Eclipse project, follow these steps:

start IntelliJ IDEA
go to File → Open …
navigate to the directory with your Eclipse project
click OK button
press Shift key twice to open the IntelliJ IDEA search window
start to type midpoint
select the row MidPoint Settings to open midPoint project settings
keep Download file pattern as is unless you know what you are doing. See also Updating Project Settings
keep Generated file pattern as is unless you know what you are doing. See also Updating Project Settings
click Import from Eclipse button
set the Master password for your encrypted properties store (Keepass).
- do not set Old password, keep it empty
- the master password will be used for encryption of Keepass file. See Using Keepass File
- the master password will be stored in your operating system key management subsystem to not ask for it each time you start IntelliJ IDEA
Select a proper Environment
- by default there is a Default environment for http://localhost:8080/midpoint
- you can modify or add new environments for your projects now or later, see Working With Environments
click OK button

Figure 2. Importing existing project, step 2

MidPoint Studio will not automatically migrate environments (as they are global in Eclipse). You have to create your environments manually including references to properties files
MidPoint Studio will not overwrite .gitignore and pom.xml files if they existed in the imported Eclipse project

The default content of these files:

File

Content

.gitignore

If you were used to the Eclipse keyboard shortcuts, don’t despair! In IntelliJ IDEA you can use them.
