Environment Setup

Choosing an IDE

We recommend developing for moltimate-backend in IntelliJ.

Dependencies

Developing for moltimate-backend requires the following dependencies:

• JDK 8
• Maven 3.5+
• Lombok IntelliJ Plugin
• gcloud SDK
• Travis-CI CLI

Maven / Spring Profiles

Moltimate has two different Spring profiles: dev, which is activated by default and used for local development, and prod, which is used when the application is deployed to GCP App Engine. Because we want to conditionally load different Maven dependencies for these profiles, we have set up respective Maven profiles for each of these. These are defined in the pom.xml. When using mvn, you can decide which profile is used for the command with the -P flag.
Example: mvn spring-boot:run -Pprod
