Sharing projects between IntelliJ and Eclipse

Question

I am about to start work on an existing Java project with other programmers, and they are Eclipse users. I am using IntelliJ (rather fond of its editor...) and would like to know whether I can continue to use it on this project or whether I have to switch to Eclipse. Note that they (as I) use Git for source control, and they are using Maven (which, frankly, I have no experience in, though I know that IntelliJ supports it).

Any thoughts?

Answer 1

If it counts for anything, we're found that there was no problem getting the two environments to work together. We cloned the projects into a set of folders independent of IntelliJ. I then created an empty project in IntelliJ and attached the Maven pom files to that project. Voila - everything talks to each other and interactions with the Git repository work properly.

Answer 2

I don't know if that could work, but there is an option under Project Settings | Modules Project Settings | Modules where you could set the Dependency Storage Format to .classpath files.

At least it could be a start and maybe it helps.
