This chapter is all about setting up or importing your project in the IDE. We will focus on understanding IntelliJ IDEA concepts such as modules, libraries, and artifacts. We will discuss the difference in terminology and see how the terminology used in IntelliJ IDEA is different from that used in NetBeans and Eclipse, so you can switch from them faster.
We will cover the following topics in this chapter:
A comparison of Eclipse, NetBeans, and IntelliJ IDEA terminologies
Project structure and configuration—modules, libraries, facets, and artifacts
Creating a new project from scratch
Importing the existing project
The project's format
