*within the project structure

@edvin The project structure reveals the project as a module, but I think you're right, the src is not marked as a source

While we're talking about project settings, there's an issue with Gerrit's library as well, and I believe it's releated

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez This should happen automatically as long as you have the Maven plugin installed. What you could try is to close down IDEA, move the .idea folder out of the way and then open the project again. This will generate a new .idea folder and also an .iml file for your project. This seems to be missing, so I think this is why the configuration was lost - maybe you deleted it by mistake?

Brb, dinner 🙂

@edvin the .iml is missing?

oh wow, yeah I think it is

okay, I'll delete the idea file and restart Intellij

@mikehearn wow, great insight! Keep us posted regarding JavaFX state, sounds very promising!

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez i'm not sure how much you've worked with maven, but sometimes it helps to run from the command line. that takes the IDE out of the troubleshooting and can help you get your bearings. this also helps verify that things work for Eclipse users

ex, mvn clean install

@carlw excellent suggestion. Give me a minute

@edvin @carlw deleted the .idea, restarted IntelliJ and ran a mvn clean install no cigar

can you create a plain Application target? (not a TornadoFX type)

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez You still don't have an IML file, so something is broken here. It looks like the maven plugin isn't importing your project. Try to do the same again, this time open the pom.xml, not the folder.

I always open the pom.xml file and never the folder, have bad experiences with it 🙂

I opened the pom.xml but still cannot select MyApp

AH but it's okay because the app finally showed up under Search by Name

finally. Thanks! I'll stick to opening pom.xmls from now on, I've never not had a bad time opening up a project folder 😄

Great Amanda 🙂

and keep you informed about the weather in Norway

intellij has a weird distinction between open and import

where one choice works reliably and the other does not. drives me up the wall. i ranted to a jetbrains person about it some time ago and they agreed it was silly, but it never got fixed

IntelliJ is really great for all the capabilities it has and its open-source philosophy, but there are so many operational setups and configurations that can make the experience a little confusing

Yeah, I remember I ran into trouble with it years ago. I think I have developed some kind of sense of how to work around it, so I never see it anymore.

@edvin I think TornadoFX is REALLY cool and Kotlin is just awesome. I'm looking to explore more projects in the near future with what I can do with Kotlin (maybe go for reactJS next, and incorporate TornadoFX)

the conference is likely going to be too expensive for me to go, but I want to get involved in a panel or talk in conferences I've participated in the past: the Richard Tapia conference is a segment of ACM for minorities in computer science, and it's in Orlando this year, and I was thinking about doing a talk on getting involved with open-source communities in creating solutions for code-creation (meta programming). As someone who was terrified of doing anything open-source related and is at the beginning of their journey in their career, I think the experiences I've had the past couple months is enough to write an academic discourse. I'd love to include TornadoFX and Kotlin in the discussion, but I am not sure if I have enough knowledge or the rights to do so. What are your thoughts?

What is your (everyone's) opinion? I'd like to note that the Richard Tapia Conference is geared towards minorities and those with disability, but many attendees are also starting their journey and the focus is to both empower and to expose different segments of computer science
