IntelliJ IDEA use macros in Working Directory of Run Configuration

57 views Asked by At

Coming from Eclipse, I am used to set the base directory of a Maven Run Configuration dynamically by using variables like ${project_loc}. With that, I am able to just select one specific Maven Module (out of >100) and just run the configuration for that specific module.

In IDEA, I cannot find this functionality. The dialog box for setting the working directory of a Maven run configuration does not accept macros - in contrast to for example the dialog box for VM options which has a “insert macros” button.

Is this feature not implemented in IDEA or am I missing something? Working with Intellij IDEA 2023.1 CE

Thanks, Patrick
