intellij idea run configurations backup
Intellij IdeaIntellij Idea Problem Overview
I would like to create a script to modify my debug configuration in intellij. The path of tomcat changes, and i have to manually go into the run config and edit things. I have tried to find the place where intellij stores these settings to no avail.
question: does anyone know where IJ stores its run configuration

Solution 1 - Intellij Idea
The location would depend on 2 factors, whether the configuration is local to the user or shared with the other developers and if you are using the file based (legacy) or the directory based project format.
- File based project, local configuration:
.iws
file - Directory based project, local configuration:
workspace.xml
file under.idea
directory - File based project, shared configuration:
.ipr
file - Directory based project, shared configuration:
.xml
file underrunConfigurations
subdirectory of.idea
directory or files inside.run
directory in the project root (you can customize the location of the shared configurations in the latest versions).
Solution 2 - Intellij Idea
Its here .idea\runConfigurations (correct for Idea 11). Just copy this folder to new project.
EDIT: As per comment, if runConfigurations folder doesn't exist, check the 'Share' box inside the Run/Debug configuration
