Manage an Analytics Application with IntelliJ IDEA

Use an IntelliJ IDEA Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to develop, package, deploy, undeploy, and synchronize your Oracle Internet of Things Cloud Service analytics applications. An IDE is an application that provides developers with the tools they need to write and test software. Most IDEs include a code editor, a compiler or interpreter, and a debugger that are accessed through a single graphical user interface (GUI).

These are the prerequisites for the successful completion of this procedure:

• An active instance of Oracle Internet of Things Cloud Service with Analytics.

• An active instance of IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition.

• Java SE Development Kit 8 or newer.

• A project file for your Oracle Internet of Things Cloud Service analytics application. Project files exported from Oracle Internet of Things Cloud Service include a Maven installation that lets you build, deploy, and synchronize your applications within IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition.
