[che-dev] Running Che from an IDE

[Michael Minella <michael@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm currently looking at making some updates to Che and have a question.

I can get a clean build locally of the project (thanks to whoever handles the @eclipse_che twitter account for pointing me in the right direction).  However, from there, I'm a bit stuck.

I'll admit I'm a docker newbie, but I can't seem to figure how to run the version I just built locally.  

• Do I need to publish a docker image to a registry and if so, where the image found?  
• Can I run it locally directly and if so, how?  
  
• Can I run Che's dashboard or IDE straight from my IDE (IntelliJ) somehow (ideal option) so that I don't need to rebuild the entire project to test out minor changes?  If so how?

Any insights you can provide are appreciated.  Thanks in advance!

Thanks,
Michael Minella
