I found NetBeans has a lot of problems nowadays (I reported several bugs) and it is unclear if Netbeans will support Java 9 at all.
I try Intellij IDEA and want to keep several unrelated free form project opened in separate instance (Spring Security sample projects) to study sources.
How can I open it is separate window and how can I save that project group to open whole projects later in one click?
I can't get it from:
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/creating-a-project-by-importing-existing-sources.html
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/opening-multiple-projects.html
If you open a new project while one is already open, IntelliJ will ask you if you want to open it in a new window.
It's harder to solve the reopening problem. You could create a project and a new module for each of the separate projects. I know they're not dependant on one another, but it's convenient to treat them as a unit and that's what a project does.
Using the modular project approach also means that you don't have to open each 'module/project' in a new window -- you'd have them all available in a single place. It's better for searching too -- you can search across the whole project.

I am working with a big project on my IDEA with many modules. I would like to compare files and directories in the project view. Scrolling each time just to select the files for comparison is tedious. I am not using scroll from source so what I wanted to have is two views of the project, each one is scrolled to different files.
Is there a way to achieve that? Or any other alternative?
The closest you can get is the favourites view where you can drop individual files into a list and then compare them without having to scroll around the project view. Unfortunately that is only any use if you are comparing the same sets of files each time.
Unfortunately there is no out of the box way to do that, IDEA can run multiple instances, each with a different project, but switching is kind of painful.
One workaround is to import multiple maven projects as a modules of one project as described in this question.
There is an issue for that feature in the JetBrains issue tracker, it is interesting to read the conversation history there. Currently it seems JetBrains do not plan to implement this feature anywhere in the future.
...it makes no sense in IDEA. Unlike other platform-based IDEs, IDEA
supports multi-module projects, and all the contents displayed in a
single frame are modules of a single project. Introducing an extra
level of hierarchy above that would be unnecessary and extremely
confusing.
...
We don't have any plans to provide any other solution for this. The
1:1 correspondence between projects and frames is essential to the
internal design of IntelliJ IDEA: by definition, a project is the set
of code opened in a single frame. There is no way to change this
without rewriting the whole IDE, which we don't plan to do.
There was such view in intelliJ called Commander. Since last versions it's not shipped together with intelliJ, but you can install it as a plugin.
I think it will be helpful for your case.
I am developing a data acquisition program in Labview that uses multiple translation stages, cameras, a high speed digitizer, and other instrumentation. I'm developing the application on one computer, and will be deploying it to another computer. The development computer has labview 2013, and computer the application will be deployed on currently has Labview 2012, but we will be upgrading it to Labview 2013 when we move the application over there. Some of the drivers need different versions of the driver to function under Labview 2012 than they do for Labview 2013.
I'm trying to keep all of the vi's, subvi's, and drivers for the instrumentation in one directory tree so that I can move the whole tree over to the computer it will be deployed on.
When I load the project in Labview I'm getting a lot of "Resolve Load Conflict" dialog boxes popping up. When I go to investigate, Labview says it can't find one of the files that is causing the conflict, but yet it popping up the dialog. An example is below:
This happens every time I load this project - saving all doesn't enter the new paths into Labview. I also tried creating a new project, and pulling these vi's in, but the new project has the same load conflicts.
Evidently Labview or these vis think that these vi's that no longer exist are still there.
How do I fix my project, vi's, or Labview so that it only uses the vi's that it should, and I don't get all of these conflicts, many of which are with nonexistent files?
I just had this same problem, but solved it like so:
In your project window, expand the Dependencies group. You should see each of the undesired subvi's listed there.
Right click on each one and select 'Replace with item found by project...'. This will bring up the familiar conflict resolution dialog box, go ahead and select the proper path and click OK.
Now, because the dependency has changed, Labview is going to change the dependency path that is saved in the calling VI. You'll see a save dialog asking if you want to save the changes to the VI(s) that is/are calling the dependency whose path you just changed. You want to save changes.
Do this for all the dependencies and you should be good to go.
I've found that when it is necessary to move driver files and libraries from the NI default locations, renaming the files prevents further confusion.
For instance if you have a "instr.vi" that you need to move to a custom directory location, renaming the file "my_instr.vi" and linking to the renamed file prevents future conflicts.
Of course, this may initially involve some amount of work in renaming all the files and then directing your calling VIs to use these newly renamed driver files, but after that initial time invest you shouldn't have any more problems.
This question already has answers here:
Does IntelliJ support any kind of templating to create multiple files automatically?
(3 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
I like intellij's code/file templates, they are working really well for me for single files but it would be great to be able to create multiple files/classes at once.
I did find this question but since it has been a few years since I was hoping that things might have changed.
We are using the mvp pattern in our application so every time we want to create a new view, it requires two classes and two interfaces, which are always in the same pattern. It would be awesome if we could generate all of the infrastructure for this and link up the classes.
Any suggestions or new information would be appreciated?
Maybe it is time to log a feature request with JetBrains?
This feature seems to be available in ReSharper (another JetBrains IDE). It still does not seem possible in IDEA yet.
At the moment IDE doesn't support this feature. Most popular youtrack request have 60+ votes, but it still opened(since 2012). You can use 3rd party solution, for example this plugin.
It's possible (now). See below links.

https://medium.com/codequest/file-group-templates-in-android-studio-unofficial-guide-85dfa0a0c1ec
You could easily do that using JavaParser but I am not sure how you could invoke it from the IDEA interface
I think you are looking for this,
Open the desired file in the editor.
On the main menu, choose Tools | Save File as Template.
In the File and Code Templates dialog box that opens specify the new template name and edit the source code, if necessary.save changes and close the dialog box.
I have a large Flash Builder project that is part of a much larger (.net) solution. I typically have, for the entire project, a forward dev branch going, as well one or more bug fix branches. What is the best way to set this up in Flash Builder, given that Flash Builder does NOT want to import an new project (bug fix branch) that has the same name as an existing (forward dev branch) project?
The best way is understand the workspace limitations. Eclipse doesn't accept projects with the same name, is an old problem. I could say you, isn't only eclipse, but a lot IDEs have such problem and bugs about it.
We want a create a project, production, what is the current stable version, at least one bug test and the next project version. Then, in this Eclipse case, you should name it to something like ProjectNameProd, ProjectNameBugFix and ProjectNameNextVersion. It's also good for browser files by path, as you have the folder saying what is inside.
You can put all in one SVN or GIT repo, or create one repository for each one of these contents. Then, configure the Eclipse/Flash Builder to use SVN, follow this well explained.
Another, not well, approach is set one project and all your targets but it is really a mess to organize and keep things separated.
Hope help you.
I am working on multiple instances of a project in parallel, using IntelliJ Idea (v. 8).
These instances have the same directory structure and are located under different roots. E.g.: c:\projects\projectname_v1 , c:\projects\projectname_v2 , etc...
Currently the IDE is set so that the module is always in the same location (e.g. c:\projects\projectname). If I want to move from one instance to another, I close the IDE and rename the instances.
Is there a better way to do it?
It may be easier to just reopen the instance you need from the File | Reopen menu.
