== Why IntelliJ over Eclipse for CSSE374? ==
* Useful keyboard shortcuts and "smarter" autocomplete to save you time (pressing Ctrl+Space makes autocomplete pop up)
* Look into the source code of Java classes (such as imports), to speed up finding examples to use for the UML Diagram Generator project
* Can help you remove unnecessary code and even fix some logic errors.
* Also detects some duplicate code (but not duplicate logic). '''Do not rely on it though. Please look through your own code as it may miss some things.'''
* It supports multiple packages (important for CSSE374's presentation/domain/data_source "layer" separation, those are 3 packages and Eclipse does weird stuff with them)

== Getting an IntelliJ Pro License Key FOR FREE as a Rose student ==
They are free for Rose students (and many others with a .edu email)! I recommend taking advantage of it!

Apply for a key here (it usually takes 1 hour to get the key): https://www.jetbrains.com/shop/eform/students

== Installation in Arch Linux ==
Install yay: <code>sudo pacman -S yay</code>

And then type: <code>yay -S intellij-idea-ultimate-edition</code> (you might have to type in your password, but for security reasons you can't run yay as root by doing <code>sudo yay ...</code>)
