The following instructions can be used to set up Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA to work with OpenVPMS.
This assumes that you're working with the latest sources from svn.

Eclipse 3.2+

From the command line, cd into the openvpms directory and run:

mvn eclipse:eclipse

This will take some time while maven downloads all the dependencies.


Eclipse needs to know the path to the local maven repository. This is done by setting the M2_REPO classpath variable by running:

mvn -Declipse.workspace=<path-to-eclipse-workspace> eclipse:add-maven-repo

IntelliJ IDEA

From the command line, cd into the openvpms directory and type:

mvn idea:idea

This will take some time while maven downloads all the dependencies.
