You've probably seen most of the documentation as its up on the incubator site (http://incubator.apache.org/wookie/). It would be useful if you can point out if we're missing anything important for getting started. Most of the work of building and deploying is handled by Ant and covered in the "Getting Started" page. We also have a lot of tests, which unfortunately we have to run manually at the moment (I imagine there is JUnit integration in Intellij?) - the tests in the "functional" package require a running server to test against as they exercise the REST API. I'd suggest the basic steps to check you're ready to go are: - checkout into a project in the IDE - run using the Ant task (or from within the IDE) - run unit and functional tests using JUnit (or from within the IDE) - configure any code templates in your IDE - make some changes - run - run tests again - create a patch > Also I noticed that Eclipse is the IDE used, with SVN code.

There should be no problem; most of us use Eclipse, and we have some templates and config files but you certainly don't need to use Eclipse to work on Wookie. You may be able to reuse some of the information in /etc/eclipse/ to help create your IDEA environment. Actually, if you do create an Intellij IDEA template for working with Wookie that could be a good simple first patch to submit and get used to the process and to working with our Jira workflow. > > Thanks and Best Regards, > -- > Pushpalanka Jayawardhana | Undergraduate | Computer Science and Engineering > University of Moratuwa > > +94779716248 | http://pushpalankajaya.blogspot.com > > Twitter: http://twitter.com/Pushpalanka | Slideshare: > http://www.slideshare.net/Pushpalanka
