Yes, so you need to configure it. When you open as a project, by opening the pom.xml for example, it will ask for it. I'm not sure IntelliJ is objectively better. I do prefer it, but tbh I didn't realy try any other IDE. If VSCODE works for you why not stick to it?

Because people say IntelliJ is better, and I was recommended it because it can "do things VSCode can't".

But, for me, it's the worst tool I've ever used.
It has poor quality, poor indentation, it's way more of a hassle to use than VSCode.
Why would ANYONE want to use this POS tool!?
What about IntelliJ is attractive??
