how to export intellij project

Question

I simply want to export my java intellij project from one pc to another, no need for git because I only want to test something on the other pc because it has more memory. Surprisingly no information on this is available, there is information on how to export a project to a jar file, but I cannot import from this jar file. On their website : https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/2016.3/import-existing-sources-project-name-and-location.html they don't give any clear instructions on how to do this simple operation? how is this done?

Solution

Till version 2016.3.4 IntelliJ doesn't provide such facility.

Best way to do so would be to copy the whole directory containing your project or module. Doing this would retain all your project related settings.
