Hacking on Aeron

Working in IDEA

IDEA imports gradle build files itself.

1. Install the JDK 8 or 11.
2. Clone the Aeron project.
3. Run ./gradlew to setup the build.
4. Inside IDEA go 'File' -> 'Import Project' then select the top-level build.gradle. Choose the 'Use local gradle distribution' option and select the directory you installed gradle into previously and click OK.

You should now have a top level "Aeron" project with sub-modules.

Other IDEs

The main IDE used by the Aeron contributors is IDEA. Please share experiences if you have had success setting up any other IDEs to work with Aeron.
