Re: Dev environment setup
My opinion: use this recommendations for plugins (I use the basic Eclipse IDE).
For Intellij IDEs and for the main program you will have to try your self.
When you will find-out howto, please let us know and share the procedure.
Thanks in advance!

Re: Dev environment setup
I managed to build the project by downloading the source code and running the build command.

1. Clone the repository
2. Inside the SweetHome3D folder, run `ant`

You must have the `ant` build tool installed. Homebrew has this.


brew install ant

You can take a look into the "build.xml" files to see how the tool is built.

There are ".project" files which instruct your IDE on how to setup the project. I develop in Vim, so my case is a bit different. But ".project" gets you enough mileage.
