Troubleshooting Viewing and Running Samples from IntelliJ IDE

To view and build within IntelliJ, you must either set M2_HOME as an environment variable, or configure IntelliJ.

Perform this task from the command line.

Prerequisites

M2_HOME is the location of your Maven installation. It should look something like the following: /opt/maven/apache-maven-3.x.y.

You must have administrative privileges.

Procedure

  • Determine where Maven is installed.
    • On Linux or Windows, type mvn -version.
    • On a Mac, edit /etc/launchd.conf to add the following line: 
      setenv M2_HOME <maven_home>
