Is it possible to have an IDE for test class, but with a different project for each test method?

I'd like to keep a single IDE instance for the entire test suite (class) — for performance reasons, to avoid opening a new IDE instance for each test method. At the same time, I'd like to open a new project for each test method — to keep a reasonable separation between tests.

Is this scenario directly supported by IdeStarter? Currently I've worked it around by:

• opening IDE in @BeforeAll method with NoProject
• opening a project in @BeforeEach but using IntelliJ Robot Framework and Rhino JS code

@PawelLipski, it's technically possible. You need to create a test context in the BeforeAll and maintain the state in the 'BeforeEach'. But I would rather recommend you use one test project per class and cache the testContext between classes - then you will have performance improvement in the project indexing/importing only once per test class. But I am not sure if it is applicable to your specific case.
