Hi Taposh,
Try the process outlined below. I have screenshots for each step if you want
them. If this works (you are the first tester) then we can put it in the web
documentation.

Fresh checkout from SVN
===
1. Start IntelliJ IDEa.
2. In the "Quick Start" menu, select "Check out from Version Control" (VCS
icon).
This will display a drop-down box.
3. In the drop-down box, select "Subversion".
This will open a "Checkout from Subversion" dialog.
4. In the "Checkout from Subversion" dialog, click the "+" button in the top
left to add a new Repository.
This will open a "New Repository Location" dialog.
5. In the "New Repository Location" dialog, enter the svn checkout location of
cTakes.
6. Click "Ok".
This will inspect the repository.
7. Click the "Expand" triangle.
This should display the directory listing of trunk.
8. Click "Checkout".
This will open a "Destination Directory" dialog.
9. Enter a local directory in which to keep trunk (your sandbox).
10. Click "Ok". This will open a "Checkout Options" dialog.
The default options ("Head", etc.) are fine for most users.
11. Click "Ok".
This will open a "Working Copy Format" dialog.
12. Select a (version) format and click "Ok". I use version 1.8, but any
should be fine.
This will start the actual checkout and display a progress dialog. The
checkout may take a little while.
13. After the checkout has completed, you a new dialog will ask you if you'd
like to open the project. Click "No".
Import Project from Maven
=
A local repository is needed. If you do not yet have one, follow any
instructions on this wiki for checking out cTakes.
1. Start IntelliJ IDEa.
2. In the "Quick Start" menu, select "Import Project".
This will open a "Select File or Directory to Import" dialog.
3. Browse to your local cTakes repository root directory and select the pom.xml
file.
4. Click "Ok".
This will open an "Import Project from Maven" dialog.
5. Make sure the "Search for projects recursively" box is selected, just in
case any cTakes modules are not in the pom.
6. Make sure that "Create IntelliJ IDEa modules for aggregator projects" is not
selected.
If you plan to add new module, 'disable' a present cTakes module or make other
changes to the main pom.xml, check the "Import Maven projects automatically"
box.

7. Make sure that "Create module rgoups for multi-module Maven projects" is not
selected.
8. Make sure that "Keep source and test folders on reimport is selected.
9. Make sure that "Exclude build directory (%PROJECT_ROOT%/target)" is selected.
10. Make sure that "Use Maven output directories" is selected.
11. Make sure that the "Generated sources folders" option "Detect
automatically" is selected.
12. For the "Phase to be used for folders update" the default option
"process-resources" should be fine.
13. For the "Automatically download" options, you may select what you like, but
be wary that if broken code has been checked in you may need to revert manually.
14. The default "Dependency types" are fine.
15. Click "Environment settings...".
This will open a dialog that can be used to set options about the Maven
environment.
16. The default maven environment settings should be fine. If $M2_HOME is not
set in your environment you may select a "Maven home directory", but it is
better to set $M2_HOME in your environment.
17. Click "Next".
This will inspect the cTakes Maven settings and search for profiles. It should
display a dialog with the possible cTakes profiles.
If you plan to run the UIMA CVD or CPE then select the appropriate profile.
Neither is necessary
18. Click "Next".
This will open an "Import" dialog with the current version of cTakes displayed.
19. Click "Next".
This will open a dialog allowing you to select a Java SDK version.
20. Click the "+" button in the top left.
This will display a drop-down box with options for an SDK.
21. Select "JDK".
This will open a dialog to select a Java JDK directory.
22. Navigate to a directory with a JDK and click "Ok".
This will display a listing of the file paths associated with the selected JDK.
23. Click "Next".
24. Click "Ok/Next???" Didn't see dialog.
The project will load. This may take a while.
25. Important: If you are asked about adding and .iml files to svn, click "No".
26. You should now see the full cTakes project structure in IntelliJ.
Compile with Maven
===
1. Open the "Maven Projects" Tool Window using the button on the left side of
the window.
If you do not see it, Use the main Menu > View > Tool Windows > Maven Projects.
If you would like to permanently add the button to the UI, use Menu > View >
Tool Buttons.

2. Select the "Expand" triangle next to "Apache cTAKES" and then its child node
"Lifecycle".
This will display standard maven goals.
