Setup and some tips for developers (Intellij - preffered):
---------------------------------------------------------
* [Required!] 
    add '-parameters' in Java Compiler -> Additional command line parameters

* Code style:
    cp etc/intellij-codestyle.xml ~/Library/Preferences/IdeaIC13/codestyles/cevo.xml (on OSX)

* Reformat only changed lines:
    1. Show "reformat code" dialog
    2. Run "reformat"
    3. Set "Only VS changed text"


Setup and some tips for developers (Eclipse):
---------------------------------------------
* [Required!] Java -> Compiler -> Store information about method parameters
* cevo-games -> Properties -> Java Build Path -> Add Folder("cevo-games/src/test/resources")
  [So that connect4 tests work in Eclipse (they already work from command line (maven)]

* General 
    * Editors
        * Text Editors -> show print margin, print margin column 120

    * Appearance
        * Label Decorations -> Java Type Indicator
    * Workspace

        * Remove unnecessary casts
        * Remove trailing white spaces on all lines
