BEAST2 and Intellij

Updated from what I wote in Feb 2014. The following is what I did on 2015-06-13. Intellij 14.1.3. BEAST 2.3.0.

Download BEAST2 source

I downloaded zip from https://github.com/CompEvol/beast2 and unpacked as beast2p3p0. There seem to be various places and ways to get the BEAST2 source. I don't know which is recommended.

New STACEY version

(This is my primitive branching procedure.)

• Copied directory for old STACEY version. Copy called STACEY230104
• In STACEY230104, deleted directory .idea, files STACEY230.iml, lib\stacey.jar, stacey.src.jar
• Changed version.xml

Make BEAST2 in Intellij

• Close any projects. Choose "Import project".
• Select folder beast2p3p0.
• Leave "Create project from existing sources" ticked, Next.
• Accept name, location, Next.
• Accept source folders, Next.
• Accept libraries, Next.
• Accept module structure, Next.
• Choose JDK 1.8, Next. Finish.
• Project Structure. set Project language level to 8.
• Menu - Build - Make project. 57 warnings.

I suspect the above is not necessary, but maybe best to make sure this works first. I can't seem to persuade Intellij I want language level 8 as default.

Set up project for new STACEY version

• Close BEAST2 project. Create New Java Project. Name it STACEY230104, to match directory exactly.
• File - New... - Module from existing sources. Choose beast2p3p0. Reuse .iml.
• Project Structure. Select Modules, STACEY230104, dependencies tab. Make STACEY230104 depend on beast2p3p0.
• Build.
• Project Structure. Artifacts. Make empty jar, name it stacey. Choose STACEY230104 compile output. Double click to add it. Output directory = STACEY230104\Package\lib. Build on make = true.
• Project Structure. Artifacts. Make empty jar, name it stacey.src. Green arrow below Output Layout, add directory content, choose ...\STACEY230104\src. Build on make = true. Output directory = STACEY230104\Package.

If the artifacts are not empty jars, I can't change the names from automatically supplied and wrong ones.
