"Effective programming in Java" workshop

What tools are required:

• any IDE with Java support (Eclipse Mars/IntelliJ IDEA are prefered),
• JDK 1.8 (newest update)

How to prepare your development environment?

Eclipse

• Create new workspace,
• Configure Eclipse to use JDK 1.8,

Window->Preferences->Java->Installed JRE

• Set JDK Compliance level to 1.8,

Window->Preferences->Java->Compiler->1.8

• Clone EffectiveJava repository to the workspace,
• Create new Java project with EffectiveJava name
• If you have any problems with unit tests compilation (e.g. Eclipse claims that import of org.junit.Assert.* can not be resolved) you should:
  • Goto project properties: Properties -> Java Build Path
  • On the Libraries tab click "Add Library..." button,
  • Choose JUnit and Apply changes,
  • Imports should be properly resolved now
