Changes

* BaseX is being developed with the [http://www.eclipse.org Eclipse] environment. Other (other IDEs are like IntelliJ IDEA can be used as well in our community, but are not supported by our team).* The [httphttps://www.eclipse.org/egitdownloads/ Eclipse IDE for Java Developers] includes the EGit] plugin can be used to check out the latest sources from our repository within Eclipse.* The (for [[http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org m2eclipseGit]] ) and the m2e plugin is required to work with packages other than the main project; it adds (for [[Maven]] support to Eclipse).* Additional coding guidelines Other Eclipse plugins we use are defined via Checkstyle and can be integrated with the : {| class="wikitable" |- valign="top"!

To get some help on Our [[Git|Git Tutorial]] explains how to check BaseX can be checked out BaseX from the [https://github.com/BaseXdb/basex GitHub Repository], and embedded in Eclipse with EGit. The article also demonstrates how to optionally use BaseX git can be used on command -line, please have a look at our [[Git|Git Tutorial]].

If the "Problems" View contains errors or warnings, you may need to switch to Java 7 (''Windows'' → ''Preferences'' → ''Installed JREs''). With the Maven plugin from Eclipse, it may require sometimes requires several attempts to get all dependencies updated. This loop can be avoided if the sources are precompiled via [[Maven]] on command-line.

You may as well use the standalone version of [[Maven]] to compile and run the project, use other IDEs such as [httphttps://www.jetbrains.com/idea / IntelliJ IDEA].
