Thanks @gcliff! I finally succeeded, I had to clone the openmrs-core and then went into Intellij idea under scheme and imported the OpenMrs formatter through this directory tools/src/main/resources/eclipse/OpenMRSFormatter.xml.

I am trying to import the “OpenMRS” or “OpenMRSformatter.xml” files, but when I get to the window “Import Project”, it keeps giving me that no eclipse projects are showing there. I am still lost as to how to import the xml file as described in the instructions https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Developer+How-To+Setup+And+Use+IntelliJ? Can anyone help me out with this? I even cloned the repository on internet, but it is still not getting into “Intellij” program.

Are you able to see OpenMRSFormatter.xml located in openmrs-core/tools/src/main/resources/eclipse in your cloned repository?

Hi @sdoger!

To import the OpenMRS formatting file, it isn’t enough to just import the Eclipse project. You need to open the Intellij preferences and go to Editor → Code Style → Java, click the little icon next to the Scheme box and select Import Scheme → Eclipse XML Profile and then browse to where ever the OpenMRSFormatter.xml file is on your machine and select it. That should create the OpenMRS Formatter scheme.

I’ve tried to capture the process in the screen shot below:

Hope that helps!

(Your interface may look a little different. I’m using the Material UI plugin for Intellij).
