Developer Setup Notes

Clone the code from github.

Open Intellij, and open as a new project. This should automatically index and setup part of the project, but it may equally well set it up incorrectly.

• Clone from github.

• Open intellij and import from the Exchange Directory (not the modelCatalogueTestPluginApp directory)

• Run through the “create module from existing sources” (don’t click any other options)

• Open the project in Intellij and go to “Project Settings”

  

  • Delete the existing modules

    

  • Import a new module, selecting the ModelCatalogueCorePluginTestApp.
