Development Environment
We will be using Java version 1.8
Although version 1.7 may work, it cannot be guaranteed that it will
We will be using IntelliJ IDEA, Community edition to develop projects
While it is possbile to develop projects using different tools, projects will be tested within the
IntelliJ IDEA environment.
◦ A submission that is not in the form of an IntelliJ IDEA project will be converted to one if that is
necessary to evaluate the project
◦ Any errors caused by such conversion will be considered deficits in the project and will cause loss of
credit.
◦ In extreme cases, the submitted project may not work at all and may receive no credit.
