How to Configure IntelliJ IDEA 14 for your migration from Eclipse

Question

I have recently installed IntelliJ, to learn Java. I have been learning Java previously in Eclipse, but a lot of Seniors have suggested me to start Developing in IntelliJ as it would Save time in Future.

Now the Problem is the Environment is totally different, I cannot add packages directly, i have to configure a lot of things, which is making me confuse, as to which option i need to correctly run my applications. Can anyone help me out how to go about it.

IntelliJ is definitely different from Eclipse so a little reading on the Getting Started pages is helpful. For me, understanding the modules part was the hardest.

For migrating from Eclipse, they have a pretty good tutorial besides the IDE options to import Eclipse projects.
