I come from the .NET world, so I will ask in .NET terms in order to understand what is the java-world terms. I have experience with java.
I need to create asolution with two projects: library project and web application.
The library project uses hibernate and the web application should have reference to the library application.
I am using intellij and I saw there are various things like project and module. I don’t know this terminology – can anyone explain me what king of ‘projects’ I need?
I saw that if I create a new project while working on project it opens a new window.
While I add a new module it adds the module project in the big project.
Even though I am a heavy IntelliJ IDEA user I always start from maven project, which I then import to IDE.
In maven you create one parent project (with
pompackaging) and two submodules: one withwarpackaging and dependent one withjar(default). After importing you’ll see two modules in IntelliJ.
