Now that we have generated our application with JHipster, let's go through important pieces of the source code which have been created. Let's open our application in our favorite IDE or Editor.
If you are using IntelliJ IDEA, you can execute idea . in a terminal from the application folder to launch it. Otherwise, you can import the application as a new Gradle project using the menu option File | New | Project from existing sources and select the project folder before selecting Gradle from the options and click Next and then Finish. If you are using Eclipse, open the File | Import... dialog and select Gradle Project in the list and follow the instructions.
