## Configuring IntelliJ
- Force language level 21, to fail-fast when (accidentally) using features available only in newer Java versions.
- Open menu _File_, menu item _Project Structure_
- Click list item _Modules_, for each module, tab _Sources_, combobox _Language level_ should be automatically set to `21 ...`
- Avoid that changes in some resources are ignored in the next run/debug (and you are forced to use mvn)
- Open menu _File_, menu item _Settings_ or menu _IntelliJ IDEA_, menu item _Preferences..._ if on a Mac
- Click tree item _Compiler_, textfield _Resource patterns_: change to `!?*.java` (remove other content)
- Avoid a `StackOverflowError` when building
- Open menu _File_, menu item _Settings_ or menu _IntelliJ IDEA_, menu item _Preferences..._ if on a Mac
- Click tree item _Compiler_, tree item _Java Compiler_, textfield _Additional command line parameters_
- Add `-J-Xss1024k`
- Recommended code style: use the [Google Java Style Guide](https://google.github.io/styleguide/javaguide.html) with editorconfig
- Download the IntelliJ code style xml from: [https://google.github.io/styleguide/intellij-java-google-style.xml]
- Open menu _File_, menu item _Settings_ or menu _IntelliJ IDEA_, menu item _Preferences..._ if on a Mac
- Click tree item _Code Style_, click cogwheel and select _Import scheme_, then _IntelliJ code style xml_
- Browse where you downloaded the xml and open it. Check that GoogleStyle is the active scheme.
- Note: IntelliJ IDEA doesn't format your code automatically. You have to press Ctrl+Alt+L keyboard combination to trigger auto formatting when coding is done.
- There's an `.editorconfig` what has definition for indents, file encoding, line endings.
- If you disable it, you need to set the file encoding and number of spaces correctly manually.
- Eclipse code style xml: [https://google.github.io/styleguide/eclipse-java-google-style.xml]
- Eclipse needs [editorconfig-eclipse](https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/editorconfig-eclipse) plugin in order to support EditorConfig files.
- Set manually the correct file encoding (UTF-8 except for properties files) and end-of-line characters (unix):
- Open menu _File_, menu item _Settings_ or menu _IntelliJ IDEA_, menu item _Preferences..._ if on a Mac
- Click tree item _Code Style_, tree item _General_
- Combobox _Line separator (for new files)_: `Unix`
- Click tree item _File Encodings_
- Combobox _Global Encoding_: `UTF-8`
- Combobox _Default encoding for properties files_: `ISO-8859-1`
- Note: normal i18n properties files must be in `ISO-8859-1` as specified by the java `ResourceBundle` contract.
- Set manually the correct number of spaces when pressing tab:
- Open menu _File_, menu item _Settings_ or menu _IntelliJ IDEA_, menu item _Preferences..._ if on a Mac
- Click tree item _Code Style_, tree item _General_
- Click tab _Java_
- Checkbox _Use tab character_: `off`
- Textfield _Tab size_: `4`
- Textfield _Indent_: `4`
- Textfield _Continuation indent_: `8`
- Open tab _XML_
- Checkbox _Use tab character_: `off`
- Textfield _Tab size_: `2`
- Textfield _Indent_: `2`
- Textfield _Continuation indent_: `4`
- Set the correct file headers (do not include @author or a meaningless javadoc):
- Open menu _File_, menu item _Settings_ or menu _IntelliJ IDEA_, menu item _Preferences..._ if on a Mac
- Click tree item _File templates_, tab _Includes_, list item `File Header`
- Remove the line _@author Your Name_.
- We do not accept `@author` lines in source files, see FAQ below.
- Remove the entire javadoc as automatically templated data is meaningless.
- Set the correct license header
- Open menu _File_, menu item _Settings_ or menu _IntelliJ IDEA_, menu item _Preferences..._ if on a Mac
- Click tree item _Copyright_, tree item _Copyright profiles_
- Click import button to import the _Copyright profile_
- Select the file: [Alfresco_Software.xml](./ide-configuration/intellij-configuration/copyright/Alfresco_Software.xml)
- Click tree item _Copyright_
- Combobox _Default project copyright_: `Alfresco Software`
# FAQ
- Why do you not accept `@author` lines in your source code?
- Because the author tags in the java files are a maintenance nightmare
- A large percentage is wrong, incomplete or inaccurate.
- Most of the time, it only contains the original author. Many files are completely refactored/expanded by other authors.
- Git is accurate, that is the canonical source to find the correct author.
- Because the author tags promote _code ownership_, which is bad in the long run.
- If people work on a piece they perceive as being owned by someone else, they tend to:
- only fix what they are assigned to fix, instead of everything that's broken
- discard responsibility if that code doesn't work properly
- be scared of stepping on the feet of the owner.
- Credit to the authors is given:
- with [Open Hub](https://www.openhub.net/p/activiti/contributors) which also has statistics
- in [the GitHub web interface](https://github.com/activiti).
