-We will focus on working in the top level directory which enforces default settings for all submodules, e.g. plugin settings and versioning of 3rd party dependencies. There is however a one special submodule, //openbeat-dist// which is the distribution module. From that location we have to invoke a special assembly command which creates a zip bundle with all dependencies and runnable scripts to launch OpenBEAT.

+==== Developing with IntelliJ ====
+The team used [[http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/|IntelliJ IDEA]] while developing OpenBEAT. IntelliJ integrates nicely with Maven and can generate IntelliJ projects based on the maven projects. Let's assume we have checked out the source as described above and have IntelliJ running. Let's create an IntelliJ project to build and develop further on OpenBEAT.
+=== Create IntellIJ project from OpenBEAT sources ===
+Select File -> New Project
+{{:openbeat:file_new_2.jpg?100x200}}
+Select Import project from external model
+{{:openbeat:import_project_2.jpg?410x400}}
+Select Maven
+{{:openbeat:select_maven_2.jpg?410x400}}
+Select root directory
+{{:openbeat:select_directory_2.jpg?410x400}}
+Press next until finish
+{{:openbeat:finish_2.jpg?410x400}}
+You're now able to hack on the OpenBEAT code yourself.
+Note: If all you wanted was to add new sources (NLP, generators, filters, speech/timing) you're not required to have a running development instance of OpenBEAT itself. Since the entire system is packaged and shipped with Maven, you're able to create a Maven project, entirely outside of OpenBEAT and set OpenBEAT as a dependency for your own project. Then you can create a jar from your project and add it to the executable described in the [[openbeat:userguide|user guide]].
