And that creates the project, and the folder where it's stored. And I'm told that the project directory idea projects doesn't exist. I'm going to call my base package com.example, and then I'll click Finish. And you can also set the base package in Java, that means you're saying where you want your code files to go, and also how you're going to access them from other code in your project. Now you can name the project anything you want, but the location directory shouldn't ever have spaces in it, so I'll get rid of the spaces. For Java projects you can choose to create a project from a template called the Command Line App, and I'll choose that. I'm going to stick with the open JDK version that I just downloaded and click Next. And in the previous video I showed you that you can use versions of the JDK either from the root directory or from the home directory. You can also choose which SDK you want to use. For this first project, I'm going to create the ultimately simple application, a Hello World application, written in Java. Maven and Gradle are two frameworks for working with libraries that are managed in repositories. Dependencies are links to external libraries. You can also choose one of the available frameworks for managing dependencies.

You can choose a primary programming language, such as Java, Groovy or Kotlin. On the left, you can decide what kind of project you're creating. From the welcome screen, I'll select New Project. After installing and configuring IntelliJ IDEA, and installing a copy of the JDK, you're ready to create a project.
