title: How do I share IntelliJ Run/Debug configurations between projects?
body: <p>I have many different versions of my app.  Each one is a separate IntelliJ project. Every time I open a new one, the list of configurations starts blank:</p>
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/d81Ev.png" alt="enter image description here" /></p>
  <p>The annoying thing about this is I deploy to 1 VM and I have to copy and paste the debug configurations each time I want to test a different version.  IntelliJ makes this dialog modal per IntelliJ Instance, so I can't copy and paste the fields between Project Instances.</p>
  <p>I end up taking a screenshot of one configuration and copying the fields by hand into the other project.  It's a pretty primitive solution.  Is there a more convenient way to get a run configuration from one project to another?</p>
  <p>I'm using IntelliJ 13 on Windows 7.</p>

It's about window layout.  Therefore I don't consider it a duplicate.</p>
