Hey, you still don't tell how to configure java if it is not available in the system

[@RaghavPal]

Aswin Sorry if I missed the details. I have separate videos on java setup. Can check here - kzbin.info/aero/PLhW3qG5bs-L8SGvNCb9Nj66JZkWPwfZFc kzbin.info/aero/PLhW3qG5bs-L_qj1L5hnHvJYeFpQ_g4UuU

[@VinnyJonas]

Hi I only javafx showing when creating a new project, not just java as depicted in the video... could you please assist

[@RaghavPal]

Vinny Here are the steps on how to create a new Java project in IntelliJ without JavaFX: 1. Make sure that you have the Java plugin installed for IntelliJ. You can do this by going to **File** > **Settings** > **Plugins** and searching for "Java." If the plugin is not installed, you can install it by clicking on the **Install** button. 2. Set the default project type to Java in IntelliJ. Go to **File** > **Settings** > **Appearance & Behavior** > **System Settings** > **Project Defaults** and select **Java** from the **Project type** dropdown menu. 3. Create a new project by going to **File** > **New** > **Project**. 4. In the **New Project** dialog, select **Java** from the **Project category** and click **Next**. 5. In the **Project name and location** section, enter a name for your project and click **Next**. 6. In the **Project SDK** section, select the Java SDK that you want to use for your project and click **Next**. 7. In the **Project type** section, select **Plain Java Project** and click **Finish**. This will create a new Java project in IntelliJ without JavaFX. Here are some additional things to keep in mind when creating a new Java project in IntelliJ: * If you are using an older version of IntelliJ, you may not have the Java plugin installed. You can download the Java plugin from the IntelliJ website. * If you have the Java plugin installed, but you still do not see the Java option when creating a new project, you may have set the default project type to JavaFX. You can change the default project type by going to **File** > **Settings** > **Appearance & Behavior** > **System Settings** > **Project Defaults** and selecting **Java** from the **Project type** dropdown menu. * If you are still having problems creating a new Java project in IntelliJ, you can try searching for help online or contacting IntelliJ support. I hope this helps

Why is intellj so anti right click. With eclipse I can right click. find in project, right click run/debug junit , right click find dependencies. :)

[@RaghavPal]

Tony While IntelliJ IDEA might not have the exact same right-click options as Eclipse, it offers a different approach to functionality

[@tonycavanagh1929]

@@RaghavPal Actually there is right click, you just call it another name.

I downloaded the new Community Edition of Intelllij IDEA and they've screwed it up. It doesn't work like this anymore. They made a complete balls of it in the new version. It doesn't allow you to create a Java project just JavaFX which is actually outdated. I think the company making it wanted to make the free version crap so people would have to buy it to get basic features. It's actually more complicated than Eclipse now. F*ck it.

[@RaghavPal]

I will check that, thanks for informing, will try to do a session on this

[@quinnd6]

@@RaghavPal It doesn't auto generate a Main.java anymore either. The way to get around the problem is to create a project that is a Maven build and uses Java and then right click on the java folder and make your own Main.java. That way at least you can get it to create and run a Java program. It's not as user friendly as the older version. Also adding maven dependencies has changed. You're better off just typing them in now and waiting for it to auto correct. That also seemed to be bugged on me as it couldn't find versions of Spring later than 4 until I exited it and restarted Intellij Idea is just a lot more awkward to use now than it was in your videos. A lot less user friendly. I suppose once you get the hang of it, it does the job.

thanks for adding

Hi Raghav, is there a tutorial on Robot framework with IntelliJ?

Hey, how do I get IntellJ IDEA to now hang and stutter when using it? Do I need a bigger CPU or something? I'm using a SSD and 32GB of RAM and my cpu is just a two core AMD, but it has a 3.4Ghz rating. And the thing just won't run smoothly! Are their configuration settings that I'm not using or something?

[@RaghavPal]

Hi, your config looks okay, can check this www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/increasing-memory-heap.html

[@maksymr.7191]

Thank you🤝 This video is helpful! Could you elaborate, please, what should I specify into the path: "Config or installation directory", if I don't want to use "Do not import settings" while importing Intellij IDEA settings?

[@RaghavPal]

Max When importing settings in IntelliJ IDEA, if you choose not to use "Do not import settings," you'll need to specify the path to the configuration or installation directory. Here's what you should do: 1. Configuration Directory: This is where IntelliJ IDEA stores your settings, plugins, and other configurations. If you have a previous installation of IntelliJ IDEA and want to import those settings, you should specify the path to the configuration directory of that installation. The path typically looks like this: - On Windows: `C:\Users\\.IntelliJIdea` - On macOS: `~/Library/Preferences/IntelliJIdea` - On Linux: `~/.IntelliJIdea` 2. Installation Directory: If you want to import settings from another IntelliJ IDEA installation, you can specify the path to the installation directory. This is the directory where IntelliJ IDEA is installed. For example: - On Windows: `C:\Program Files\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA ` - On macOS: `/Applications/IntelliJ IDEA .app` - On Linux: `/opt/idea-IC-` If you don't have a previous installation or specific settings to import, you can choose "Do not import settings" to start with the default configuration.

Thanks Raghav, if I have a Ultimate license key can we activate it from the community version or do I need to install the ultimate version for that separately?

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Avik, No, you cannot activate an Ultimate license key from the Community version of IntelliJ IDEA. You need to install the Ultimate version separately.
