Terasology Code Style Conventions

All fair points. Thanks for letting me know.

Additionally:

• 
  ...
• IntelliJ is our primary development IDE, so for things like mass organising imports it is preferred it is done in IntelliJ. By default IntelliJ uses import some.package.*; if you are importing 5 or more classes from that package, suggest Eclipse users set things up the same way.

I think that statement is outdated. Checkstyle is currently checking that there are no * imports. I agree the author of that checkstyle rule that * imports are bad, as they can lead to possible name conflicts.

Closing this due to being supplanted by checksytle rules.

Is it worth getting IntelliJ just to add modules? I like being in the same workflow as other people.

It makes it easier for us to advise, but it is up to how confident you are in your ability to figure out stuff on your own

Eclipse works fine and we have a few users with that as their primary IDE. It takes a little more tweaking to get right than IntelliJ.

I am not against spending 200 USD for the full version but I am not 100% committed yet. Any better options you would recommend?

I ran with the free version of intelliJ for a long time without any hindrances. The only thing I feel I "got" with the full version was json formatting, which I am sure you could do with something free.

Okay cool thanks!

Yeah Community Edition is more than enough

We have a freebie license for the Ultimate Edition for contributors, so just write some code and get it merged on GitHub and we can hook you up

But yeah it doesn't add anything really needed. Cool for other stuff like playing with Spring.
