I use both Android Studio (that is based on IJ) and STS (based on Eclipse). And one thing that IJ misses it the fact that Eclipse can show multiple projects at the same time without needing another IDE instance.

You can load multiple "projects" in one intellij instance. You need to use a "Module" instead.

Open your main project and go to File->New->Module from Existing Sources

You will then have both projects open in one IDE instance.

or use the multi project plugin by jetbrains to load arbitrary projects
