The Flink committers use IntelliJ IDEA to develop the Flink codebase. We recommend IntelliJ IDEA for developing projects that involve Scala code.
Minimal requirements for an IDE are:

- Support for Maven with Java and Scala
The IntelliJ IDE supports Maven out of the box and offers a plugin for Scala development.
