title: How do I add global libraries to IntelliJ IDEA?
body: <p>I've tried adding .jar files to the <code>Global Libraries</code> section in settings, but whenever I create a new project, those libraries still have to be manually added to the project.</p>
  
  <p>I've consulted the documentation on Jetbrains's site (<a href="https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/help/configuring-project-and-global-libraries.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/help/configuring-project-and-global-libraries.html</a>) and I seem to be doing everything correctly.</p>
  
  <p>With only the <code>Welcome to IntelliJ IDEA</code> window open, I've performed the following steps:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Open <code>Default Project Structure</code> options with CMD+;</li>
  <li>Select <code>Global Libraries</code> from the left pane.</li>
  <li>Click the <code>+</code> in the second pane and select <code>Java</code>.</li>
  <li>Navigate to and select the <code>jsoup-1.8.2.jar</code> file which is the library I am attempting to make global and then select <code>OK</code>.</li>
  <li><p>Click <code>OK</code> to close the <code>Default Project Structure</code> options window.</p></li>
  <li><p>Select <code>Create new Project</code></p></li>
  <li>Select Java from the left panel and then select <code>Next</code>.</li>
  <li>Select <code>Next</code> again.</li>
  <li>Name the project and select <code>Finish</code>.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>At this point the only <code>External Libraries</code> added is <code>&lt;1.6&gt;</code>.</p>
  
  <p>So I have to proceed by manually adding the library to the project.</p>
  
  <p>How do I set IntelliJ IDEA to load specific libraries automatically when creating new Projects?</p>
