Select Yes when asked if you want to create a new IDEA project. When the dialog disappears and the source is downloaded, you are ready to create your IDEA project. This will take quite some time, it is a lot of code and libraries. For the rest of the dialogs, just accept the defaults and IDEA will download the source. You will need to provide a path on the disk where you want to store the source-code. Therefore, you should select the latest source tagged with 2.x.x. At the time of writing, the trunk is early 3.x, and the blog is about 2.x development. This is the official read-only repository for the Mirth source. Select subversion as the provider and provide the repository URL ( ). Start Intellij, and from the quick start, choose “Check out from Version Control"

If you use other software for Subversion (like SmartSVN) you can of course skip this part. Intellij ship with built-in subversion support, and we will use that to gain access to the source for Mirth Connect. You will only use this editor if you want a form editor to work with the Swing interface.

Lastly, you need to also download and install Netbeans Java SE bundle from. This name is for historical reasons, and also easier to type. Throughout the text I will refer to Intellij as IDEA. Then go ahead and download Intellij Community Edition from Jetbrains.
I used to be a pro-java-coder earlier, but these days I don't own a license for a Java IDE.įirst you need to download the Java SE 6 from Oracle. They provide a free Community Edition that I will use throughout this tutorial in order for occasional Java coders to do their work. Getting an editor to work with, or twoįirst thing you will need to do, even before you get the source, is to download an IDE to work with. The only exception is the part where we do Swing forms, where it was easiest to simply download Netbeans to do that work. I believe most professional programmers would too. Note that I will not be using Eclipse for any of my tutorials, but rather I will be using Intellij for the most parts. I'll show you how you can get a working development environment for Mirth Connect up in a matter of minutes. So, you came to the point where Mirth no longer cover all your needs, and you are ready to build your own custom connector.
