Using Git with IntelliJ and Maven

Question

If I wanted to use just the normal git via the command line and not the one in IntelliJ, what do I need to include in the version control so when I download it, I can get the Maven libraries without manually installing them?

Edit: There is no pom.xml file when the libraries are added to an IntelliJ project, so I was wondering what I need to include so Maven inside IntelliJ can download the libraries.

The pom.xml file does this:

Some of the configuration that can be specified in the POM are the project dependencies, the plugins or goals that can be executed, the build profiles, and so on. Other information such as the project version, description, developers, mailing lists and such can also be specified.

Running mvn install will cause Maven to download your dependencies.

Intellij将自动了解pom文件中的更改并更新库，当然您应该拥有pom.xml文件。

Answer 3

If its a maven based project, you definitely need a pom.xml file like below

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0
http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.test</groupId>
<artifactId>testing</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
<name>testing</name>
<url>http://maven.apache.org</url>

<properties>
    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
</properties>

<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>junit</groupId>
    <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
    <version>3.8.1</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>

Once you have a pom.xml file, you can define dependencies like the JUnit dependency defined above with the version you need and maven will automatically take care of downloading the dependency for the project. Once you add any new dependency to the pom.xml, you can run "mvn clean install" from the directory where you have the pom.xml file so that it installs the new dependency.

Hope this helps.
