Using WebStorm and IntelliJ simultaneously

I have code for an existing web application built using java, jsp and js.

I would like to use WebStorm for the JS part of the development and the free version of IntelliJ for the rest of the code, but it doesn't seem like I can open the same project in both, since they seem to be each other.

Is there a way I can do this without closing / not switching the IDE all the time?

A draft idea of ​​discovery in WebStorm and vice versa is not recommended. Different Idea-based IDEs (RubyMine, PHPStorm, WebStorm, PyCharm, IDEA) have the same project format (.idea), but different settings / module types that are incompatible. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you avoid sharing the same project between the IDE. If you like to work with the same external sources in different IDEs, I would suggest sharing folders with sources, but save .idea folders: just create a new empty project in WebStorm and add the original root as an additional Content root in Settings / Directories
