Creating a New Java Project and Understanding the Project Structure

In this section, we will focus on creating a new Java project and understanding the project
structure in the context of setting up a development environment for Java programming.

Creating a New Java Project

To create a new Java project in IntelliJ IDEA, follow these steps:

Open IntelliJ IDEA and click on "New Project" on the welcome screen. If you already have a
project open, you can select "File" -> "New" -> "Project" from the top menu.

In the "New Project" dialog box, select "Java" as the project type.

Choose the desired project SDK version and check the "Create project from template" option.
Select the desired project template. For a simple project, "Java" or "Command Line App" is a
good choice.
Choose a location to save the project and click "Finish".

Understanding the Project Structure

When you create a new Java project, you will notice a specific project structure:

• src: This folder contains the source code for your project.
• src/main/java: This sub-folder contains the main Java classes.
• src/test/java: This sub-folder contains the unit tests for your project.
• .idea: This folder contains IntelliJ IDEA specific project files, such as configuration
settings and caches.
• pom.xml: This file is used for dependency management and build configuration in Maven
projects.
• build.gradle: This file is used for dependency management and build configuration in
Gradle projects.
The project structure is designed to keep your code organized and to enable efficient build and
dependency management. It is important to understand this structure as you continue to develop
Java projects.
