I'm working on more than one project. I needed to define External-Tool to do some batch processing in one of the project. and did this as descibed here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/25970200/1726419

After I opened a different project I saw that the External tool of the first project is still defined in the IDE.

how can I defind a project related external tools set?

  • Well Run/Debug configurations are per-project. As are maven goals. Can you configure it that way, for example a maven `exec` or `antrun` plugin goal that invokes your external tool? – vikingsteve Sep 23 '14 at 11:38
  • @vikingsteve it is possible, can I define the maven/gradle that runs te exec as a seperate button on the toolbar? – yossico Sep 23 '14 at 11:46
  • Not as a separate button, but as a separate run configuration. Click on your maven target and select "Create {target}". This will add a run configuration into your run configuration combobox on the toolbar. – Darek Kay Sep 23 '14 at 19:06

    In the `External Tool` setup window you can define macros that can take project specific parameters. That may help you a bit. You can even add a macro that makes the external tool prompt you for input. – maba Sep 30 '14 at 06:25
  • Yeah this would be useful especially if your external tool uses the same keyboard shortcut across projects – developarvin Jan 11 '19 at 15:43
