I have a savant repository in my project and I want to add all of the jars contained within the repo to IntelliJ's depenedcies list. I can add the jars one at a time, but I want to be able to add them all at once.

Is there a way to add all the jars found within all the directories/subdirectories?

Details: IntelliJ 12

Update: I can not change the repository structure, it is auto populated when ant builds.

Adding jars from a directory is supported, but not recursively, please vote for this feature request.

There is a workaround provided by Daniel Brenzel in the link. Here are the details: -> go to .idea/lib/*yourLib*.xml -> add the folowing line <jarDirectory url="file://$PROJECT_DIR$/lib" -> recursive="true" /> in the library tag This works seamlessly
@SvenPlath For me, that line was in .idea/[project name].iml. Then I had to restart IntelliJ for the changes to take effect.

Yes, you can add all jars in a folder. You have to create a library and select option: "Attach file or directories" and the select a directory. This way even a future changes to the directory will be visible.

Yes, but that only works for a single directory, not a directory full of nested subdirectories that contain jars.
