I just want to show how easy it is to start developing for vert.x with Intellij IDEA 11.1 and the brand new gradle based build system.
- Fork the vert.x repo at github (help) and clone it to your local machine (let’s say to
/tmp/vert.x
) - Install Gradle 1.0 / Java SDK 7 / Intellij Idea 11.1
- Open Idea and import the project
File -> New Project
Import project from external model
- choose “Gradle”
- select
- Gradle Project:
/tmp/vert.x/build.gradle
- Gradle home:
/opt/gradle-1.0
(this depends on your gradle installation)
- Gradle Project:
- Press next and choose
- Language Level: 7.0
- SDK: 1.7
- Press Finish
- Press
Build -> Make Project
- Happy hacking.
