I agree, IHMO I can do the independent project right now albeit with
more memory used (I start 2 IntelliJ on 2 different projects).
However I cannot do the thing that Eclipse is offering: dependent
projects that are setup differently (different class path, output
dir,...) but still related so I can do refactoring across, navigate
everywhere, view the combined package hierarchy of every project. The
IDE understand the notion of dependency while compiling and find
I can package logical modules into their own project. By distributing
the project IntelliJ files along with their code other developers can
import them and work immediately. Any change in the configuration would
be propagated very easily. This would be even more powerful if project
files were relative to 1 or more roots (Eclipse has the notion of
project variables).

Subject: Re: [Eap-list] multi project support

Hi,

I realized two kinds of "multiple projects" in the recent discussion:

- relativeliy independent project with a loose relation between another
  This is imho best handled in something like two independent project
windows
  or idea instances

- projects which strongly depend on each other: e.g. a framework and an
implementing
  app, an api and a using app. In this case you want the files very
close
together while
  developing: you want to see a method change in one project in the code
completion
  feature of the other project's file immediately.

The discussion and argumentation would be endless...

I see two solutions: idea dev team decides to support one of the above
kinds
or they
decide to support both and let the user change the behavior of idea per
project-group.

Gr��e,
Hans-Joachim Matheus
