I have intelliJ already setup to "compact empty middle packages"
When I do refactor -> rename, the only dialog will only actually rename the directory (even when I have it search for occurances), resulting in my code that uses the package throughout the project, still using the original name.
I'm sure there used to be a way to "rename package" and not just the directory, did the mechanism for this change? I really need to rename my package.
Please don't mark this as a duplicate, because the other places I see this being asked, the solution is to first "compact empty middle packages" - which I have already done... and I still can't get it to work.
Try to open a class that is in that package, then right click on the package xyz.abc line (should be the first line in that file) and choose Refactor -> Rename from the context menu.

When I use the "Project Pane -> Project" view in IntelliJ, my Java package paths are collapsed based on the Modules in my Project Structure (e.g. com.company.project). I would like to use IntelliJ for code reviews, so I've checked out the changes locally and am looking at the "Project Pane -> Changed Files" view, but this doesn't pick up the project structure, so each folder takes an extra line. Can I get the best of both worlds here?
I figured this out with the help of this answer about expanding the folders (which I also wanted to do) How to expand folded package chain in Intellij IDEA?
Right click on "1:Project" to see the options for the project pane and then check "Flatten Packages".
For some reason when I try to do a rename refactor, idea picks up code that is not even remotely close to my project. Furthermore, this code is read-only and I can't edit it! And Non-Project Access dialog is almost mockingly "ultimate" in its options: I can only choose whether I want to edit the non-project files this time or I want to do this ALWAYS. No option to skip these files altogether.
I tried to add these folders as a content root and exclude them - it didn't help. And I can't remove them, since they actually don't show up as files in the refactor preview (they are not referenced anywhere in the project view either), only {m} functions/method do with no option to remove them.
So the refactor rightfully fails because it can't edit RO files. So how would I solve this?
Why can't I change package name in intellij idea?
I want to change "java" package to something else, for example "junit" or "jtests":
But when I select Refactor -> Rename I wind up with the dialog window:
then I select Rename current, in the next window I enter desired package name:
and then, no matters whether I click Refactor or Preview button, nothing happens. Nothing at all: no errors, no warnings, no actions. Why can't I rename this package?
It seems to be a bug of IntelliJ IDEA. I found the solution on JetBrains forum. By invalidating the cache and restarting, I got the ability to rename this package.
For me invalidation didn't work. I made a new package and temporarily moved the classes out of the package I wanted to rename. It would disapear when I would rename them, so I would create them again.
Just a bug in intellij. Invalidate the caches and restart. Here's how, it's easy.
Only folders under java are part of the package qualified name.
Example:
If you have a file in a folder located under app/src/main/java/com/my/package then the package will be com.my.package
So, you only want to change folders under java.
However, regarding the "com" folder, the IDE does not provide an option to refactor package name. In this case, you need to manually rename all code occurrences of the old folder and invalidate the cache after renaming the folder.
File > Invalidate caches... > Clear system
For me it was due to memory problem, after increasing memory (heap size) it solved.
I'm trying to remove a workspace (or clone it to look like the parent, but I can't seem to do either). When I try, however, I get this message: Cannot remove workspace test_workspace, because it has a non-empty default group.
From what I've read, it means that there are active files (as shown by the 3 little green dots to the right of stream). I've tried everything to get those to go away but they just seem to stick around and therefore result in me being unable to remove the stream.
Alternatively, I could completely wipe out the stream and replace with the parent version, but I can't seem to do that either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You need to purge the active files in this workspace.
Open the workspace and click on the "Default Group" filter -> select the files -> right click -> revert to backed.
If no files appear in the "Default Group" filter, click on the stranded filter and do the same as above to revert those files.
If you are using AccuRev 6.x, click on the outgoing mode and click on "Member" and "Stranded" to get a list of the active files.
Once you have done that, you can remove the workspace.
Similar problem here, fixed it following #jstanley's comment.
Open Workspace-> select it-> right click-> Edit.
In that prompt, I set the Location path to where I wanted it to put it on my local machine. For some reason, it was unable to "create a folder" and threw errors, so make sure Append Workspace name is unchecked and you select a folder that already exists.
It then populated the folder on my local machine attached to the workspace. And revert to basis worked, so afterwards I could remove the workspace and delete the folder.
I created some dummy projects. Now I don't see any way to delete the projects that I don't want. Per this suggestion I can delete files, the project is going away but there is traces of it still available. For example, on the Recent Projects you can still see the name of the project you just deleted. So I am thinking there should be another (and really easy way) to delete a project.
Press the Del (or fn and delete) key to delete a project from the Recent Projects list.
Vote for this issue to make it more obvious and user friendly.
close project first, or until this dialog appear, then hover your mouse on project you want to delete from history, then press Del
you'll be asked for confirmation
On occasion, even with deletion of the project, some tidbits are left behind in the following Windows paths:
C:\Users\username.domain\.IntelliJIdea2017.1\system\compiler
C:\Users\username.domain\.IntelliJIdea2017.1\system\compile-server
C:\Users\username.domain\.IntelliJIdea2017.1\system\frameworks\detection
C:\Users\username.domain\.IntelliJIdea2017.1\system\conversion
C:\Users\username.domain\.IntelliJIdea2017.1\config\componentVersions
C:\Users\username.domain\.IntelliJIdea2017.1\config\tasks
This has been proven to be problematic - for example, if a new project is created using a previously deleted project name, it will create the project with data stored in the above paths, at least, this has been my experience.
The only way to TRULY delete the project is to get rid of all the garbage left behind in the aforementioned folders. I would suggest using Search Everything to find more tidbits left in the users temp folders.
In case your project is imported as a module, you can also go to File --> Project Structure and click 'Modules' in the left section. Now you can hit the minus button to remote the module from the project.
You can also click File -> Open project ...
When a file menu appears, you can right click the unwanted project folder and select Delete.
Just figured, I am using Idea Community edition 13.1.1 and the cleanest and easiest way is to go to File > Reopen project > Clear List. I just stumbled upon this menu today. I always thought that is just to clear the latest projects from the view inside the IDE and just realized it is clearing the projects from the main Dialog too.

Also, in IDEA 13.x.x you can go File-> Close Project and you'll land in the window with Recent Projects tab. There pressing Del of Fn + Del on selected project helps .
On OSX Mountain Lion and IDEA 14, with the project open and focused, you can go to file -> close project, then delete the project from your filesystem. This removed all references to the project.
Note that if the project you are deleting is the only project open, closing it will show the welcome dialog, which will still show the project. Deleting the project manually from within your operating system is the next step, and the project will still appear in the welcome dialog until it is closed and shown again, usually by opening another project from the list, or quitting and restarting IDEA.
In my case, I had to delete home/.IntelliJIdea2017.2/config/options/recentProjects.xml
. In my file system (Ubuntu) this file appeared for some weird reason not writable and hold a list of projects I couldn't get rid of. Deleting this file and restarting will force Intellij IDEA to create a new one with an empty list of projects.
All you have to do is go to file - close project - to avoid seeing them again in the menu list and then you delete them from the projects directory.
