Creating a project in IntelliJ
New Project
New Project from Scratch
Enter the name: mongometer
Select Maven Module
Next
Select Create from archetype (I chose maven j2ee simple)
Arrrrg! Don't do this! Man, IntelliJ sat spinning the tyres for an age. I ended up killing it and starting again.
To delete a project, close intellij and remove the project folder
projects are in IdeaProjects
$rm -r ~/IdeaProjects/mongometer
Second time around
New Project
New Project from Scratch
Enter the name: mongometer
Select Maven Module
Next
Deselect the create from archetype
Create a package
Create the classes and the properties file
Fix imports
Add dependencies to the pom.xml
This is what I need for mongometer
- junit4.10
- mongodb 2.7.2
- ApacheJMeter_core 2.6
- jorphan 2.6
Push to GitHub
$cd ~/IdeaProjects/mongometer
$git init
$git add *.java
$git add *.properties
$git add *.xml
$git commit -m 'Initial upload of the project'
$git remote add origin ssh://github.com/yourname/mongometer.git
$git push -u origin +master
Voilà! You can go to your repo, and the project files are there. Happy days.
Points of interest
- The + performs a force push to github. I'm guessing this happened because when I created a new repository on GitHub I opted to create the README file. I won't do this again.
- IntelliJ complained about setting up the repo outside of IntelliJ. No problem, you just add the repo inside IntelliJ. I've been an Eclipse person for years (though we've decided that we'd like spend some time apart) so I'm not 100% sure of how to do this inside IntelliJ just yet.
- This is a great site for listing dependencies http://mvnrepository.com/ for setting up your pom.xml
