- install Java using Homebrew with `brew cask install java`
- install maven with `brew install maven`
- run the tests for the project using `mvn test`
- install IntelliJ with `brew cask install intellij-idea-ce`
- open the project in IntelliJ
- if necessary configure IntelliJ to use the Java 9 SDK
- run a Java JUnit Test from IntelliJ
- run maven commands from within Intellij using the built in terminal

Thank you for the video, but I'm having a problem with maven that it doesn't pass the test as it did before:
I did the following:
1- Installed Maven (as it'll automatically install JDK 1.8).
2- Installed intelliJ.
3- Tried to run the project it failed the test but the command "mvn test" was working as expected.
4- After searching the error, found that the problem was related to that the JDK was an old version for the MAC.
5- Installed JDK 9.0. and now the build is running fine but maven is always failing the test.

Is there anything I should be doing?
I'm sorry as I'm new to this and really appreciate your help! thanks
