title: Adding a project to Tomcat's classpath in IntelliJ IDEA
body: <p>In Eclipse, I add a Tomcat Server. I click on <em>Open launch configuration</em>, and in the <strong>Edit Configuration</strong> dialog, tab <strong>Classpath</strong> I can add an Eclipse project to the "User Entries" classpath.</p>
  
  <p>Now I want to achieve the same in IntelliJ Idea. This project has properties files (configuration files) that are shared by many WAR servlets.</p>
  
  <p>What I've tried so far:</p>
  
  <p>In IDEA the servers are configured under the <strong>Application Servers</strong> dialog. There I see Tomcat's jars under <em>Libraries</em> and you can <em>Attach Files or Directories</em>. I've tried that to add my properties folder inside the project. I've also packaged the project to a JAR (I'm using Maven) and added that archive. Sadly I haven't had any success.</p>
