Migrated project from eclipse to intelliJ: FileNotFoundException

Question

I am new with IntelliJ 14 and now I have migrated project from eclipse to intelliJ. My problem is that I'm getting this error:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [src/main/java/com/myproject/beans/beans.xml] cannot be opened because it does not exist.

I am sure that beans.xml is in this directory.

AbstractApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(
               "com/myproject/beans/beans.xml");
 context.close();

beans.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans 
      http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd">
......

</beans>

Answer 1

I'd strongly recommend moving your Spring XML into a src/main/resources directory. This follows convention, then you can simply mark this new directory as a "resources root" by right-clicking it in the project view, and selecting "Mark Directory As..."

Answer 2

Sounds like IntelliJ is not putting your file (or that directory branch) onto the classpath. Try looking in File | Project Structure | Modules File | Project Structure | Modules File | Project Structure | Modules .

Make sure the directory that holds com/myproject/beans/beans.xml is listed on the far right as a Content Root . If not, right-click on the directory and add it. Ideally it should be a Resource Folder , separate from the src folders.
