When making a new java project with intellij, I cannot find any option for adding external libraries. The only way I have found is to make a lib folder after making the project and putting the jar files there, but that involves copying and pasting. Is there any other way to do this?

you might want to use gradle or maven and their package management system. – Writwick Jan 27 '18 at 04:17

Are you using Maven or not? – Basil Bourque Jan 27 '18 at 06:42

1I will probably use gradle for it, because android also uses cradle. – Michael Pascale Jan 28 '18 at 04:37

In the File>Project Structure (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S) there is a tab named libraries -> Click on + -> Libraries
Also you can create a project in which the dependencies are managed by Gradle or Maven. Depending on the library you want to import, there use to be a section on the website of each library dedicated to guiding how to import in Maven or Gradle.

Thank you! I found that but for whatever reason it wasn't working, but it now works! – Michael Pascale Jan 28 '18 at 04:39
