IntelliJ.

Was playing around with IntelliJ.

Specifically, was investigating how to do the following in IntelliJ:

• Basic Java development
• Basic Scala development
• SBT for Scala
• Maven for Java
• Scala Tests

Basic java development:

• Hello World + Java + IntelliJ : https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/2016.2/tutorial-creating-running-and-packaging-your-first-java-application.html

Maven for Java:

• https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/2016.2/maven.html

 

Tips: 

One of the things i realized is – its critical to understand the basic. Specifically:

• Projects, Modules, Libraries and how they are structures in IntelliJ
• If using Maven, its helpful to review the common maven tasks :
  • https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/2016.2/common-maven-procedures.html
• The set of dependencies should be specified either from POM (for Maven) or in build.sbt (for SBT)
  • using POM / build.sbt simplifies things because it adds the libraries and dependencies automatically.
  • the other option is to specify the dependencies using the ‘Project Structure’ for basic Java / Scala projects
• There is a nice writeup for using scalatest in IntelliJ
  • https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/2016.2/working-with-scala-tests.html
• Maven Exec java
  • its important to understand how to run programs using maven itself
  • need spend more time on this
