Intellij Maven Skip Tests Code As You

To dial and receive calls from any phone number you need to upgrade your account.

If you need to get Java 8 and Apache Maven installed on your Windows machine, check out this tutorial (you can skip over the GWT bits).

We will also need the following tools throughout this walkthrough.

Intellij Maven Skip Tests Code As You

Copy and modify the code as you see fit it is all open source under the MIT license.

Start IntelliJ and select Create New Project, then choose Maven.

Click Next, then fill in the GroupId, ArtifactId and Version on the New Project screen.

You can keep the defaults shown in the following screenshot or use your own settings.

On the following screen, fill in javaCalls for the Project name and place the project in its own subdirectory under where you keep your Java projects.

Now were ready to install the project dependencies via Maven and finally get to coding.

In our case, we only have two dependencies, one for Spark and the other for the Twilio Java helper library.

Save the pom.xml file.

Maven should automatically download the dependencies.

If it does not, go to Settings - Build, Execution, Deployment - Build Tools - Maven - Importing, then enable the checkbox to Import Maven projects automatically.

Our two required dependencies will be locally installed as soon as Maven finishes running.

Now that our jar dependencies are installed we can write some Java code.

Save the file. Click Build - Build Project, or press Ctrl-F9 to compile and build via IntelliJ.

Then click Run - Run PhoneCalls.java or press Shift-F10 to run the application.

If IntelliJ gives a compilation error that says Method references are not supported at this language level, type Alt enter and select Set language level to 8 Lambdas, type annotations, etc.

If you see warnings about Failed to load class org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder dont worry about that for now as we wont need to do any logging.

We should get a success message that the app is running and responding to requests.

Next we need to buy a Twilio phone number that our Spark app can use to call other phone numbers.

In your web browser go to the Twilio website and sign up for a free account.

You can also sign into your existing Twilio account if you already have one.

The Twilio trial account allows you to dial and receive phone calls to your own validated phone number.
