GenerateIdeaModule

API Documentation:GenerateIdeaModule

Generates an IDEA module file. If you want to fine tune the idea configuration

Please refer to interesting examples on idea configuration in IdeaModule.

At this moment nearly all configuration is done via IdeaModule.

Properties

PropertyDescription
inputFile

The input file to load the initial configuration from. Defaults to the output file. If the specified input file does not exist, this task uses some default initial configuration.

module

The Idea module model containing the details required to generate the module file.

outputFile

Configures output *.iml file. It's optional because the task should configure it correctly for you (including making sure it is unique in the multi-module build). If you really need to change the output file name it is much easier to do it via the idea.module.name property.

Property details

File inputFile

The input file to load the initial configuration from. Defaults to the output file. If the specified input file does not exist, this task uses some default initial configuration.

IdeaModule module

The Idea module model containing the details required to generate the module file.

Default with idea plugin:
project.idea.module

File outputFile

Configures output *.iml file. It's optional because the task should configure it correctly for you (including making sure it is unique in the multi-module build). If you really need to change the output file name it is much easier to do it via the idea.module.name property.

Please refer to documentation in IdeaModule name property. In IntelliJ IDEA the module name is the same as the name of the *.iml file.

Default with idea plugin:
${project.projectDir}/${project.name}.iml (sometimes the project.name is prefixed with parts of ${project.path} to guarantee uniqeness). Bear in mind that usually it is easier to use moduleName property instead of outputFile property.
