Importing to an IDE

    1. In the Welcome to IntelliJ IDEA screen, click Open.

      The welcome window is only shown when you close all projects in IntelliJ IDEA. If you don’t want to close your currently opened projects, you can select **File › Open** in the menu instead.

    2. Select Open as Project. This imports a project based on the POM file.

    3. IntelliJ imports the project and downloads all necessary dependencies. This can take several minutes, depending on your internet connection speed.

    When the import is complete, your project structure will be similar to the following:
