I have generated two Spring Initializer Maven projects. I open the first one with File-Open-location_of_the_file, It opens up the project, when I want to open the second project it closes the previous project. I want to be able to see both projects in the project window.

I don't want the program to open a second IntelliJ window, I just want them to be inside the same window, same file explorer inside IntelliJ. I have both projects in the /documents/microservices folder. I'm relatively new to IntelliJ, help would be greatly appreciated.

Use Import Module action: File | New | Module from Existing Sources.

See Import an existing module documentation for more information.

I solved this issue by doing this:

View -> Tool Windows -> maven -> "Add maven projects" -> find the pom.xml from the project and then it adds it to your file explorer.
