tutorial on setting up IntelliJ IDEA for DHIS2 development

Is there a tutorial (or can someone offer some pointers) on how to set up a DHIS2 development environment for IntelliJ IDEA? I’m switching over from Eclipse.

I’ve imported the dhis-2 and dhis-2/dhis-web projects (pom.xml) as Maven projects, but I’m getting errors and think I need to somehow tell IDEA to use the dhis-2 project as a dependency for the dhis-web project. Or is there some other obvious step that I’m missing?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hi Ken

What I usually do is to simply:

  1. Open main pom.xml from dhis-2 directory (choose open from file menu, don’t create a new project, or project from existing sources)

  2. Let intellij finish all scanning, also add the beans to the project (it will ask you)

  3. Then do the same for dhis-web/pom.xml file (expand the dhis-web folder, right click on pom.xml and choose add as maven project)

After this, I usually never have any issues.

You could potentially also open pom-full.xml, but I don’t do that myself.
