Tellier,
That's good news. I'm going to be your first tester. Is there a test
site that has all of the latest changes to the doc in html format with
all the latest images?
A few things I've hit so far:
-- "In the pop-up window, press the*+*button to add the James code
repository in the next pop-up." -- There is no "+" in the git repository
selection popup. Looks like a holdover from the subversion instructions.
-- The image: intellij-idea/intellij-james-project.png doesn't appear to
be part of the changed file list. I looked at the old version on the
web site. I see a few similarities. But my workspace doesn't really
look much like that image. The project tree is significantly different
in the image than what shows up today.
-- As soon as IDEA imported the project, I got 4 errors that all say
"Cannot resolve plugin
org.apache.james:mailetdocs-maven-plugin:3.5.0-SNAPSHOT". Is that
something that should have come down from git, or is it something I need
to install additionally?
-- "To build the project, you must open the*Maven Projects*panel. Then
double click on the install goal to run this goal.' There is a maven
section in the upper right of my workspace. I assume that is the maven
"projects" panel. But I can't find an 'install' goal anywhere to click.
-- "Note that tests can be long and can be skept by toggling/skip test"
-- /spelling error: "skept" should be "skipped". Also I finally found
the 'skip test' button. But might want to say it's on the control bar
on the maven panel.
-- "That's it. Run or Debug James in Eclipse (right-click on the Main
class) and Have Fun!." -- "Eclipse" should be IntelliJ. But more
importantly, finding the "Main" class is quite a task. It's buried
pretty deep in one of a hundred sub-projects on the left. Really need
some navigation/path info for how to find the Main class.
Tellier, sorry to bring all of these things up. But at this point I'm a
complete rookie at IntelliJ, and at least for now, that makes me a good
person to test the instructions.
Thanks.

Hi Jerry,
I'm working on a refresh of build instructions for contributors [1].
IntelliJ (community version) is working great.

What is the recommended development environment (IDE) for JAMES
development? I am an Eclipse user. I finally got JAMES to build in
Eclipse. But I can't get it to run there. So I've been relegated to
adding log statements, build, publish, look at logs, repeat. As I am
getting deeper and deeper into understanding James and debugging issues
that I find, I'm looking to do more contributing to JAMES. But I'm
REALLY missing breakpoints and interactive debug.
I'm not married to eclipse. If there's a different IDE that everyone
uses, I can download it and move my development to it. But I don't want
to spend time moving to another unproven environment. I think someone
mentioned IntelliJ. I've never used it. But I'm willing to learn. So
I just needs a go or no-go on IntelliJ or something else from someone
that's using it. And, if the answer is IntelliJ, can I use the free
community edition, or do I need to get the Ultimate edition?
So... what IDE is everybody using for development?
Thanks.
Jerry
