Setting up Intellij and AWS environment to work with DynamoDB
Lately I started to grow interest in AWS. Since I work with IntelliJ in my work place I would love it if I could keep on using it at home as well.
Which leads me to my question - I installed IntelliJ and I would like to know what else should I install and configure in order to get my environment running. I have seen the following in a few posts regarding other topics -
Am I missing anything? Am I installing something un-needed? Any configuration I should do? Any other tips you would like to share with me?
Thanks!

Take a look at this document here - http://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-java/v1/developer-guide/credentials.html
The correct name for the secret key variable is AWS_SECRET_KEY.
Using CLI limits you to work with a single Amazon account. And if that is not the case with you, you should not use CLI.
Options 1 and 2 allows to set these credentials per project with different AWS accounts outside the project codebase. Go for those options instead.
