Developer Environment

If you choose this solution, aside from Java 7 and your favored Java IDE nothing needs to be installed.

First step is to import Apache Fineract as a Gradle project into your IDE.

After you have imported Apache Fineract, edit the file gradle.properties:

env=dev
releaseVersion=SNAPSHOT

Now synchronize the IDE project to reflect the changes done for the Gradle project.

Once the synchronize has finished you can configure your IDE to use either the class ServerWithMariaDB4jApplication, if you don't want to install a MySQL server, or ServerApplication, if you have already installed a MySQL server.
