I'm not sure if I understood you correctly but I think we do something similar. We have a large project divided into subprojects and code that is used by all subprojects.
com.acme.largeproject.common com.acme.largeproject.subproject1 com.acme.largeproject.subproject2 We handle it with two completely separate IDEA projects in two completely independent folder structures. This would be a pain to synchronize if we wouldn't use VSS to help us: we have two VSS projects called subproject1 and subproject2. All files contained in the project folders are added to these VSS projects. This means that com.acme.largeproject.common is in VSS twice, bu not really: by using the VSS "sharing" capability we can avoid this duplication. If a common file needs to be changed, we check out, modify and check in in either subproject and then get latest on the other. It works well for us. -Thomas > -----Original Message----- > From: Rowland Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, November 01, 2001 8:45 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [Eap-list] arbitrary project management tools > > > I would like the ability to define arbitrary 'projects', within an > Intellij project. > > For example, say I have a large system I want to develop that > is broken > down into various subsystems.
