Initial Setup

Ensure everything runs smoothly to avoid issues throughout the semester. Initial setup should be done during the first week of the semester.

Bitbucket

Accept Invite

The first minute of this video (from CSE 131) shows off how to accept a bitbucket invitation sent to your email.

Set Up Access

Try this approach:

• SSH Key: set up an ssh key for bitbucket

If that fails, then try this:

• App Password: set up an app password for bitbucket

Java

• Download JDK19 (or greater)
• Install JDK19 (or greater)

JetBrains Student Account

Sign up for a JetBrains Student Account

IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate

Note: it is critical that you download and install the Ultimate version. The Community Edition is NOT sufficient.

Do NOT pay for IntelliJ. Your WashU email address should enable you to get it for free. See above step.

• Download IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate
• Install IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate

AspectJ

Note for Macs: to find the .m2 folder, press Command (⌘) + Shift + Period (.) at the same time while in your user folder (can be found in /Users).

Testing

class:	_SetupTestSuite.java
package:	setup
source folder:	testing/src/test/java

Troubleshooting

Reloading the Maven Project and Rebuilding the Project often fix setup issues.

Piazza

Sign up for Piazza. Then join 231 on Piazza.

Results

Submit results to this form so we know how your setup process went.

Bonus

Write pseudocode for this process to parallelize these tasks with fork and join where possible.

To make it interesting... assume the latest version of the JDK must be installed before IntelliJ Ultimate can be installed.

S&Q Prep

Needs to be done before each class session to best prepare for the lecture and exercises:

• Watch video(s) and/or Read reading(s)
• Fill out S&Q (Synthesis & Question) Form
