Importing jHipster projects into intellij

Question

I really would like to start using intellij but I have only used Eclipse. However I just imported the same jHipster project that I have been working on in Eclipse and intellij says I am missing a springboot file. Has anyone ever encountered this issue before? How did you work through the issue?

Now keep in mind I am still learning my way around intellij and I have the ultimate version for free for one year (student version). I am turned on by it for several reasons and want to give it a solid shot.

Go to edit configurations and select the appropriate settings, for me it was spring boot. Make sure you hit the + button to add and new configuration and name it. If it is saying file is not found, click on the event log and select import maven project.
