Hello,
First, thanks for the clear steps in BUILD.md
, they helped a lot!
While I just went through the build process using on my system, I ran into a few issues that might be common for new contributors, especially when using IntelliJ.
I'm using:
- IntelliJ IDEA 2024.3.4.1 Community Edition
- Windows 11 (amd64)
And here are some suggestions I'd love to contribute:
What I experienced:
- The build didn't work until I manually selected Temurin 17.0.15 as the JDK inside IntelliJ. Other JDKs (ms-17, etc.) didn't launch the app or caused errors. I’m still not 100% sure why, so if there’s a technical reason for this preference, it could be good to mention that directly?
- I also got this warning in IntelliJ:
"Duplicate content roots detected"
things still worked fine, but it might help to say it's safe to ignore.
Would it make sense to add a small visual guide to BUILD.md
with these things?
What I’d love to work on:
- Add a Troubleshooting and Setup Tips section to
BUILD.md
- Optionally include screenshots of IntelliJ (JDK selection, warning popup, manual run config setup)
- Maybe even a visual guide that can be launched from the Processing GUI itself? This might become a whole new issue.
Let me know if it would be helpful.
Thanks again!
cc @SableRaf , since you recently updated the BUILD.md
, I figured you might have thoughts on this. Happy to draft something and open a PR if that sounds good.
