I'm using the Intellij Idea 13 Gradle plugin and I'd like to modify the default artifact creation.
The problem I face is that my war modules have dependencies on 3rd party libraries that I don't want to include in the war itself, however I would like to include them in the Intellij artifact so they are deployed to my local server for testing.
At the moment I'm getting errors of the type Artifact ... library required for module is missing from the artifact.
What would be the best way to tell Intellij to add those libraries?
Thanks
I haven't found the way to add those libraries, but I've found the way to set them as provided so they can be added to the server lib folder.
The solution is detailed here: Provided dependencies using Gradle (JetGradle) and Intellij Idea 13

I am working on two Gradle projects. One of these projects is a supporting library that will be used by other projects in the future so project A depends on project B but not as a 'multi module project'. The dependency is to be resolved through the artifact repo so project a declares it as a compile dependency using it's maven coordinates.
My problem is when working on these two projects in IntelliJ changes to project B aren't made available to project A until I install it (using the Gradle Maven plugin) in my local repo. This is kind of annoying and slows down my workflow. Is there a way to get IntelliJ to automatically update the dependency internally?
This is supported in the latest versions of Gradle and IntelliJ. It is known as a Composite Build.
Composite builds can be declared in the project's settings.gradle file as follows:
includeBuild '../my-app'
or by using the --include-build command line argument:
$ gradle --include-build ../my-utils run
Take a look at the Composite Builds with Gradle and IntelliJ IDEA Webinar for instructions on how to configure the integration.
In IDEA 2017 you can right-click on the gradle module and use Composite Build Configuration to link the current module to one or more gradle module already opened in the current workspace.
I found a pretty old post with this question but unfortunately he didn't get any help. I hope someone can assist me.
I created a repo at GitHub. After cloning it to my computer I tried to add the following framework support: Maven, JSF, EJB, CDI, etc. I know I could add the files manually. But, I want to use what the IDE has to offer.
However, the only framework showing up is SQL, which is different from this post from stackoverflow and from their documentation.
Has anyone had this same problem and got it working?
Intellij reacts to changes in your Maven pom.xml file. Maven does not react to changes in your IntelliJ project module settings.
The steps that you should follow here are
Close IntelliJ
In a command shell, clone your Github repository.
Using an editor external to IntelliJ such as VI or Notepad, create a pom.xml in the root directory. Better yet, use a Maven Archetype to generate your pom.xml.
Now open IntelliJ. Choose File, New, Project From Existing Sources. Navigate to your pom.xml and follow the prompts.
I recommend checking Search for projects recursively and Import Maven projects automatically.
Finish the project creation.
Now, add dependencies to your pom.xml via the dependencies tag. See Maven Dependencies. Intellij will automatically react to dependencies that you add as long as it can see a Maven Repository on your local machine or on your network or on the Internet.
I know it is a little bit to late but I just post it because it is still an possible issue: You need to open YourProjectName.iml and make sure that the type (<module type="JAVA_MODULE" version="4">) is JAVA_MODULE and not something else!(In my case it was WEB_MODULE)
i have created an IntelliJ Idea (Community Edition) java project. the project is quite simple. it only contains a main() method, but uses another 2 jars as dependencies. I also created an artifact to the project to build it to a jar.
My question is there any way to build the jar using script? because I want to add the build process to an existing build script.
thanks
IDEA doesn't do anything with the code on its own, it just counts on the default tools provided by SDK. In short, you will need javac and jar for packaging.
I am new to Maven and using it to build a project on my local. This is working nicely on my local. Now, I want to run the same project on my server and the server does not have Maven installed. So I wanted to ask if there is any way by which, when I build a Maven project on my local, I could include all the required jars in it and then simply transfer it to my server? I know Maven creates the repository in C:\Documents and Settings\username\.m2 on Windows.
But how can I include all the jars in project the way we do traditionally? I saw this question. But it talks about creating a custom repository and I don't have Maven installed at all. so I guess it is not a suitable solution to me.
Thanks.
You can use the Maven Assembly Plugin. From the documentation:
The Assembly Plugin for Maven is primarily intended to allow users to aggregate the project output along with its dependencies, modules, site documentation, and other files into a single distributable archive.
I have a maven pom file which depends on this plugin, but I can't find it anywhere online. Is this something which needs to be built from some other piece of code?
I searched in Sonatype repository and svn but I also didn't find jar nor sources. Customizable build lifecycle mappings is a experimental feature in m2eclipse. So if you don't need this feature you can comment this plugin.
Edit
After some tests I've noticed that if you use Maven 3.0 Embedded runtime your pom will work without complain, but there is still no jar for this plugin in the repository. So there is some kind of magic or I need to read more about Maven3/Embedded :)
