Building jEdit In Intellij

Question

I have been trying to build Jedit from this link http://sourceforge.net/projects/jedit/files/jedit-devel/4.3pre9/ with intellij however when I try to compile the following error appears many times

and when I oh try to import the libraries from maven I only get errors because its impossible to import from them for some reason anyone has a quite quick or efficient guide on how to do it ?

Answer 1

Execute the retrieve Ant target, that downloads all libraries you need to build everything to lib/ if you didn't configure a different directory.

Those files you then can add in IntelliJ as libraries.

Besides that, adding org as source directory with org package prefix is enough. The other sources like the Ar where you have the problem are just infrastructure code like custom Ant tasks or the installer to build a distribution.

Actually, the only dependency you need for the code in org is jsr305 for the nullability annotations. No other libraries are used in the main jEdit code.
