Building a war on intellij

I have a Java EE project I have imported into IntelliJ . I can compile the project but for some reason not able to build a war artifact , when I go to the build tab the <build artifacts> option is blanked out ( ie I cannot select it ) . my project compiles fine but I am still confused on how I could build my war .

Solution

  • Operating sequence can be such (dependent of IDE version):

    Choose:

    File -> Project Structure -> Artifacts

    Then press Alt+Insert and create new artifact:

    enter image description here

    After this actions item Build artifacts should be available.
