Intellij Vs中的路径。 日食

Question

My company is attempting to make a transition from Eclipse to Intellij Idea and I have a (might be silly) question regarding the paths.

I have a library in the root of the eclipse project and a spring configuration file which simply points to it by "folderName/file.txt". It works fine in Eclipse since it recognizes the folder. In IntelliJ however it seems to not pick the folder at all.

I've tried to mark the folder as a resource/test resource folder but it seems to simply take the contents of the folder and dump it directly into the target folder without the folder itself, just the contents.

Is there a way to configure IntelliJ to work with the folder just like in Eclipse? This is important because some are still using Eclipse, some IntelliJ, so we need a solution that will work for both.

I am guessing your are using maven since you mention the "target folder"
What happens is that since your imported the project from the maven pom.xml intellij build it by following maven. In maven the default project structure is this

This in maven everything you copy in the resources folder, will be copied to your root classpath. so if you make for resources/myFolder/my.txt then in the build you will have copied to your classpath myFolder/my.txt Anyway if you are not using maven all you have to do is go to

Project structure ( ctrl + alt + shift + s ) - Modules - go to your module - mark the folder that your want to add as resource
