java - How do I add global libraries to IntelliJ IDEA? -


i've tried adding .jar files global libraries section in settings, whenever create new project, libraries still have manually added project.

i've consulted documentation on jetbrains's site (https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/help/configuring-project-and-global-libraries.html) , seem doing correctly.

with welcome intellij idea window open, i've performed following steps:

  1. open default project structure options cmd+;
  2. select global libraries left pane.
  3. click + in second pane , select java.
  4. navigate , select jsoup-1.8.2.jar file library attempting make global , select ok.
  5. click ok close default project structure options window.

  6. select create new project

  7. select java left panel , select next.
  8. select next again.
  9. name project , select finish.

at point external libraries added <1.6>.

so have proceed manually adding library project.

how set intellij idea load specific libraries automatically when creating new projects?

global libs "global", can used in multiple projects, real question how ij know if want use global lib in "this" project ?

b/c way "global libs" woks have python virtual-env global lib, have django libs there.. named-custom set of jars global lib etc..

so how ij know-- need python or django etc in project? that's why have tell/add manually deciding 1 needed project.
