Java: Document how to set up project in IntelliJ

Created on 5 Jun 2018  路  9Comments  路  Source: exercism/java

While we have documentation that helps contributors set up and run the project from the command line, a large number of contributors also use IDEs to make changes to files.

IntelliJ seems to be the most popular IDE that is used (though others are mentioned here, so we should update the CONTRIBUTING file to include instructions to pull in the project.

I'd be interested in writing documentation for this, I should be getting a new laptop tomorrow so I'll have to set up the project again which would be a good time to write this documentation.

Sounds like a great time to get this one done! Go for it @Smarticles101 :tada:

Great, thanks @Smarticles101! 馃槃

I'll go ahead and work on this now. I need to make PR's for hacktoberfest lol

I enjoy contributing to this project for Hacktoberfest...mind if I pick this one up and any others needing attention?

@delbertlegg Yes, you may work on this :smile:. Further issues will be added at the beginning of october.

Great! Just for clarification - how deep should we be getting as far as steps? Do you want to include using the built-in git tools in Intellij, or are we just talking about importing the project?

@delbertlegg Whatever you think is best. The guide is aimed at coders just starting with IntelliJ and git, who want to know how they can set up their first project using IntelliJ. It would be great to also include screenshots for each step.

Good deal - probably wouldn't hurt including it all. Thanks!
