To import a maven project, open IntelliJ, click ‘import project’, navigate to our ‘pom.xml’ file, check ‘Import maven projects automatically’.
You can read more about Maven on their site. You can usually tell a Java project is using maven by the fact it will have a ‘pom.xml’ file. For beginners though, just think of it as the way we manage dependencies and run our tests from a command line. It allows us to manage and control our project. The projects that I share all currently use Maven. With regard to my lessons, you just need to go the URL provided with the lesson and click ‘Download Zip’ from the green button. Here is a great online tutorial for learning git, claims to take 15 mins. So it’s certainly a site worth getting familiar with. The majority of people who share code online and at workshops tend to store their code in GitHub. Just follow the instructions, and you can test it’s installed after by running ‘javac -version’ in a cmd/terminal window and you should get something like ‘javac 1.8.0_65’ back. The current version, and what the code I share has been designed to work with is Java 8. To be able to compile the Java applications you create, and I consider a suite of automated checks to be an application, you need to have the Java JDK installed. Just following their instructions to get it installed. You can download IntelliJ from JetBrains site.
I say it’s my favourite, however, I’ve never tried the other main ones, which are Eclipse and NetBeans. There are many Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) to choose from when it comes to developing in Java, but my preference is IntelliJ.
