Background

Say you have a Java project, and you have a somewhat deep package structure. And one of the classes, under the src/java folder is

com.example.projectname.more.packages.Class

Now, I want to create a test for this class, so I have to create, under src/test, the class

com.example.projectname.more.packages.ClassTest

But I have to create the packages one by one, which can get tedious.

Question

Is there a way, either in IntelliJ, or by some other tool, to say "create the class with this package path, and auto-create whatever is missing along that path"?

For instance, it could be that I already have the com.example package in my test root, in which case it would detect this, and create the rest of the path.

CodePudding user response：

In IntellIJ, when you create a class, its packages will automatically be created.

Just right click the src/java directory, and go "New -> Java Class". Enter the package-qualified name of the new class, and all the missing packages will be created:

For example, assuming I don't have the folders a, b, c, d, e, this will create all of them, in addition to the file Foo.java.
