This page explains a couple of things related to IDE and Maven setup for developers contributing to GUTS project.
Eclipse
I use Eclipse 3.5 and I strongly encourage every GUTS developer to do the same.
Along with Eclipse, I currently use the following plugins to help me with GUTS development:
- subversive
- eclipse-cs
- TestNG
TODO instructions/links for these 3 plugins.
For installing subversive with Eclipse 3.5, you can follow the instructions there (TODO).
For setting up eclipse-cs for guts modules, you need to check out guts-config from SVN and import it into you workspace. Then go to Eclipse Preferences and create a guts-config checkstyle configuration:

When importing other GUTS modules into Eclipse (after having checked them out onto your local drive), checkstyle rules shall be applied correctly to these modules.
When editing Java code in Eclipse, I use the following formatting rules:
TODO link to exported format rules file.
Maven
TODO: maven version
check out structure
modules build order
