Setting up the phoenix project in IntelliJ

Before importing the project we need to install openJDK on your machine and the latest scala plugin.

Adopt Open JDK​

You can install AdoptOpenJDK by downloading version 8 from https://adoptopenjdk.net

Make sure the following commands work on your terminal once you have installed

➜  ~ java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_222"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (AdoptOpenJDK)(build 1.8.0_222-b10)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (AdoptOpenJDK)(build 25.222-b10, mixed mode)
➜  ~ which java
/usr/bin/java
➜  ~ javac -version
javac 1.8.0_222

Setting up IntelliJ​

Install Scala Plugin​

  • In IntelliJ open up the preferences panel IntelliJ Idea -> Preferences
  • search for plugins
