Setting up IntelliJ IDEA

For developing the TellMeFirst Indexes Builder based on a customized version of DBpedia Spotlight.

Download IDEA

from http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/index.html

Java (JDK) must be installed for installing IDEA. Download (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html) and install the recent version.

If you are using Linux, you may have some difficulty to install the jdk. So follow this tutorial (for Ubuntu): http://www.webupd8.org/2011/09/how-to-install-oracle-java-7-jdk-in.html

(The guide below was created using version 11.1.1 of IDEA.)
