IntelliJ IDEA provides a New Liferay Modules wizard to create a variety of different module projects. You can also use the same wizard to create theme projects, WAR-style projects, and more. Before beginning, ensure you’ve created/imported a Liferay Workspace in your IntelliJ environment. Follow the steps below to create a Liferay DXP module:
-
Navigate to File → New → Liferay Module.
Figure 1: Selecting *Liferay Module* opens the New Liferay Modules wizard.
-
Select the project you want to create. Although the wizard characterizes itself for modules, there are many available projects that are not OSGi-based modules (e.g.,
theme,war-mvc-portlet, etc.). See the Project Templates reference section for more information on the available templates.Figure 2: Choose the project template to create your module.
-
Configure your project’s SDK (i.e., JDK), package name, class name, and service name, if necessary. Then click Next.
-
Give your project a name. Then click Finish.
Awesome! Your project is available under its project type folder in your workspace.
