Adding class/jar file to IntelliJ IDEA

Question

Is there any way to add .class/.jar file to InelliJ IDEA, so that It will be added to every project created.

I tried

• Adding .class to JDK lib/ext directory

• Adding it to IntelliJ lib directory

Answer 1

You can create a new library in File -> Project Structure -> Global Libraries. Then add your classes/jars to that library.

This library will NOT be automatically added to every project you create. Because, this may not be desired in many cases.

You have to add the library to projects manually. You can do it in: File -> Project Structure -> Modules -> Dependencies

Answer 2

Add your jar here: File | Project Structure | Global Libraries
