Creating a New IDE Project in a Workspace

This is essentially the standard IntelliJ IDEA procedure for creating a new project, with a little extra work at the end.

  1. Choose Create New Project from the Quick Start menu, or click File > New Project on the IDE’s main menu. The New Project dialog box appears.
  2. Enter a Project name, and specify a Project location that is within an existing AccuRev workspace. You can create the project in the workspace’s top-level directory, or in a subdirectory.
  3. Continue through the wizard’s screens, ending with Finish.
  4. Make sure that AccuRev is the version control provider for the new project. See Making AccuRev the Version Control Provider for an Existing IDE Project.
  5. Make sure that the files in the project are version-controlled elements. See Converting external-Status Files to Version-Controlled Elements.
