Best way to add Gradle support to IntelliJ Project
Another way, simpler.
Add your
build.gradle
file to the root of your project. Close the project. Manually remove "*.iml" file and/or ".idea" directory. Then choose "Import Project...", navigate to your project directory, select the build.gradle file and click OK.
There is no need to remove any .iml
files. Follow this:
- close the project
File
->
Open...
and choose your newly createdbuild.gradle
- IntelliJ will ask you whether you want:
Open Existing Project
Delete Existing Project and Import
- Choose the second option and you are done
In IntelliJ 2017.2.4 I just closed the project and reopened it and I got a dialog asking me if I wanted to link with build.gradle which opened up the import dialog for Gradle projects.
No need to delete any files or add the idea plugin to build.gradle.
Add:
build.gradle
in your root project folder, and use plugin for example:
apply plugin: 'idea'
//and standard one
apply plugin: 'java'
and with this fire from command line:
gradle cleanIdea
and after that:
gradle idea
After that everything should work
