How can I have more than one project inside IntelliJ IDEA?

I'm switching from Eclipse to IntelliJ IDEA.

In Eclipse I have many Java projects I can open and see the code I need. However, in IntelliJ IDEA I can see only one project at a time.

How can I have more than one project in the IDEA IDE?

You can open more than one project in the IDEA IDE.

In IntelliJ IDEA, you go to File -> New -> Module from Existing Source... You can refer image to see:

This ...

... refers to an Eclipse Workspace. There is no direct equivalent to Workspaces in IntelliJ.

IntelliJ provides a help topic titled Migrating From Eclipse to IntelliJ IDEA which maps Eclipse concepts to IntelliJ concepts. In particular, it has this to say about the absence of Workspaces from IntelliJ ...

The first thing you'll notice when launching IntelliJ IDEA is that it has no workspace concept. This means that you can work with only one project at a time. While in Eclipse you normally have a set of projects that may depend on each other, in IntelliJ IDEA you have a single project that consists of a set of modules.

If you have several unrelated projects, you can open them in separate windows.

If you still want to have several unrelated projects opened in one window, as a workaround you can configure them all in IntelliJ IDEA as modules.
