Compiling and running Confluence

Now that it's set up, we should make sure it's all working by getting it to run inside IDEA.

  1. Click the 'confluence' module and then select 'Build > Make Project' from the menu. Alternately, click the button.
  2. From the drop-down beside the button, select your app server (eg. 'Tomcat').
  3. Click the button next to the app server drop-down.

The most common problem here is that the JDK has not been set up correctly. If you have a problem, check the following:

  1. Right-click on the 'confluence' module in the project window and select 'Module Settings' at the bottom of the popup-window.
  2. Select the 'Libraries' tab
  3. Check that a valid JDK has been selected for the module.
  4. Check the other modules in the project for the same.
