Java Manta Environment Setup
-
Install JVM (for now, let's use Java 8). For a certified OpenJDK build, I like to install Azul's Zulu. However, be sure to install the JVM Cryptographic extensions in order to support client side encryption. For Zulu, see: Zulu Cryptography Extension Kit.
-
Install Maven into your path. If you are using Ubuntu,
apt-get install maven
is all that you need to do. -
Install IntelliJ. You can use the free community edition because the SDK doesn't need the features in the fancy version.
-
After IntelliJ is installed, go to plugins and install the Error-prone Compiler Integration.
