(摘抄)Defining Application Servers in IntelliJ IDEA

This feature is supported in the Ultimate edition only.

To define a server in IntelliJ IDEA, in most of the cases, all you have to do is to specify where the corresponding server is installed.

You can define a server:

• Separately, in the Settings dialog: Ctrl+Alt+S | Build, Execution, Deployment | Application Servers | , etc.
• When creating a ​​project​​​ or ​​module​​.
• When creating a server ​​run/debug configuration​​: Run | Edit Configurations |  | <Server Name>, etc.

In this section:

• ​​Defining a server in the Settings dialog​​
• ​​Defining a server when creating a project or module​​
• ​​Defining a server when creating a run/debug configuration​​

Defining a server in the Settings dialog

1. ​​Open the Settings dialog​​ (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+S).
2. In the left-hand pane, in the Build, Execution, Deployment category, select Application Servers.
