I'm a programmer, but don't have a current Java development environment. Will I be able to participate?
- Mention support (if any) for Eclipse, IntelliJ, or other Java IDEs?Yes. Many of the projects above will reuse VIVO data inside of other tools and laguages, like Javscript or Python. You could also use the Vagrant image listed about to get a working Ubuntu server with a JDK and VIVO installed. The VIVO project also maintains documentation on developing VIVO with Eclipse.
