Create Package in IntelliJ IDEA IDE
In this tutorial, you learn how to create a package in IntelliJ IDEA for a Java project. IntelliJ IDEA is a popular integrated development environment (IDE) developers use to write and debug code efficiently.
Steps to create a Java project in IntelliJ IDE:
Create Package
One of the key features of IntelliJ IDEA is its ability to organize code using packages.
A package in IntelliJ IDEA is a namespace that organizes a set of related classes and interfaces. Creating packages helps better manage and organize the code, making it easier to navigate and maintain.
To create a package in IntelliJ IDEA, follow these steps:
- Open IntelliJ IDEA and the open project in which you want to create a package.
- Choose from the menu File >> New >> Package.
- Alternatively, right-click on the src folder in which you want to create the package.
- Select New >> Package from the context menu.
The package has the folder icon in the menu.
Enter the name of the package in the dialog that appears and click OK.
For example: com.testingdocs.sample
The left Project window will display the newly created package.
We can select the package in the left Project window to create project artifacts like Classes, Interfaces, Annotations, etc inside the newly created package.
The package declaration statement would appear as the first statement in these artifacts:
package com.testingdocs.sample;
Under the hood, the IDE would create the following folder structure for the package
<JavaProject>\src\com\testingdocs\sample .
That’s it. We have successfully created a new package in IntelliJ IDE.
Creating packages in IntelliJ IDEA is a simple and effective way to organize and manage your code. It helps in keeping the codebase clean and maintainable, making it easier to work on the project.
Once you have created the package, you can start adding classes and other resources to it. You can also create sub-packages within a package by following the same steps.
