About Developing Analytics Using an IDE

Developing your analytics in an IDE lets you use your IDE’s code assistance features such as code completion, error checking, refactoring and others. It also means that your developers can use the same IDE that they use for other projects and they don’t need to spend time learning how to use a new tool.

You can export your analytics code to edit your analytics processors using an IDE. The exported project contains all the dependencies that you need to develop and build your analytics processors, as well as a pre-configured Apache Maven installation. For information on how to develop analytics using an IDE, see Develop Analytics with an IDE and Edit Analytics Processors with an IDE.

You can also use the Apache Maven targets to build, deploy, and undeploy your analytics to Oracle Internet of Things Cloud Service from your IDE, see Understand Apache Maven Targets for Analytics. Or if you prefer, you can run the maven targets from the command line.
