IDEA IntelliJ Config for Java Projects

IDEA IntelliJ Config for Java

My Sprint project config

1. for gradle

1. open a project via build.gradle, “Open as Project.”.
2. Use Gradle from
   • ‘gradle-wrapper.properties’ file:
     • this is a recommended default option that uses Gradle wrapper.
     • The Gradle version is saved in the gradle-wrapper.properties file in the gradle directory of your project and help you eliminate any Gradle version problems.
   • ‘wrapper’ task in Gradle build script: It might be convenient if you prefer to control which Gradle version to use in the project.
3. gradle.properties:
   • specify VM options for your Gradle project
4. Gradle user home
   • specify the location of stored Gradle caches, downloaded files, and so on.
   • If Gradle location has been defined by the environment variables GRADLE_HOME or PATH, then IntelliJ IDEA deduces this location, and suggests this path as the default value.

5. How to clear out all global setting info

Normally information like this will be found in one of the following places in OS X:

/Users/username/Library/Preferences/AppName
/Users/username/Library/Preferences/com.appname.plist
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/AppName
/Library/Preferences/AppName
/Library/Preferences/com.appname.plist
/Library/Application Support/AppName

If the app adheres to the standard OS X conventions you will find info in one or all of these places. If it doesn’t store here you might check for a /Users/username/.intellij folder or something similar in your home directory
