How to add Java EE SDK libraries in IntelliJ IDEA 11

I have installed the Java EE SDK on my Windows machine and I got a glassfish3 folder. Which files, and how do I add the libraries needed in IntelliJ? And is the servlet api included in the sdk?

It depends on what you are going to develop. Normally IDEA needs just Java SE SDK and when you need Java EE features, you specify an application server in Settings | Application Servers.

Application server libraries include servlet and many other Java EE APIs. In IntelliJ IDEA module settings application server is added as a dependency so that all the APIs will be available for code completion, running and debugging.

Check out Tomcat and other tutorials if you are just starting.

You can create a project and once a basic setup with Java EE support is created, hit F4 on the module. This will open up the module settings (you can also right click on a module and open the Module Settings item).

This is your one stop entry for all things settings. You can add a library, module library, global SDK etc from here.

Generally, when you create a library, you can specify all the directories under which you have your jars.

For example: In your case, you might need to add servlet.jar in the project path. Just add a library with the Jar directory path in which the servlet jar exists.
