Some more suggestions

1) For JS code use :WebStorm ( you will get EAP version from official website with 30 days trial)

2) Remember to use Coding guidelines as mentioned here

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AMBARI/Coding+Guidelines+for+Ambari

3) when you are running the project always skip rat checks or it might fail in most of cases and takes lot of time:

mvn clean install package -Dmaven.test.skip=true -Drat.skip -DskipTests

4) if you are changing only client side changes( Javascript in ambari-web folder ) , you can only run the project on ambari-web folder using the abouve command and the output will be generated on ambari/ambari/ambari-web/public/javascripts folder

you can copy that for debbuging in your server folder /usr/lib/ambari-server/web/javascripts
