You can or add it programmatically, or just put files under the .idea/runConfigurations directory (the easiest way).

To add programmatically:

RunManagerImpl manager = RunManagerImpl.getInstanceImpl(project)
RunnerAndConfigurationSettingsImpl settings = new RunnerAndConfigurationSettingsImpl(manager);
// data it is something like JDOMUtil.load(file)
settings.readExternal(data)
manager.add(settings, false)

I didn't test this code, but should be like this.

More easy and robust way will be in the 2017.2.

Hi, thank you for this helpful code.
Can I ask you if this is still up to date for IntelliJ version 2019.1.3 (CE) or what the code for this robust way is?
Thanks.

Code is still up to date. But instead of settings.readExternal(data) probably better to set options directly.

Thank you very much for the super quick reply. If I may ask another question, how to you set options directly?
