Intellij, open two projects at once

发布于 2017-03-09 21:07:48

This is not one of the many questions about having two projects in the same window, like eclipse. What I want to ask is, is it possible to open 2 projects when you click one. Here is an image to describe what I want to do: IntelliJ interface with markings on it

So when I press one of the projects in the red rectangle that it opens both in the rectangle, because I always need a server and a client running at the same time, so I was thinking, maybe there is a way to automate this process and just click one of the two and it opens two.

Use CLI. Add /path/to/intellij.app/Contents/MacOS/idea to your PATH.

idea ~/dev/a; sleep 1; idea ~/dev/b

Didn't work for me if I didn't sleep.


With JetBrains Toolbox the executable is in a strange place so I use this config in my ~/.bashrc. You have to update the version number when installing new versions in the toolbox.

export LATEST_IDEA_VERSION_NUMBER="ch-0/173.3531.6/IntelliJ\ IDEA\ 2017.3\ EAP.app"
export JETBRAINS_TOOLBOX_ROOT="${HOME}/Library/Application\ Support/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps"
export LATEST_IDEA_VERSION_CLI="${JETBRAINS_TOOLBOX_ROOT}/IDEA-U/${LATEST_IDEA_VERSION_NUMBER}/Contents/MacOS/idea"
alias idea="open -a ${LATEST_IDEA_VERSION_CLI}"
