While you should be able to self-host now using the J9 evaluation VM from IBM, others have noted it might be easier if you just go get the distro from Sun or BEA and start with that while you come up to speed. Yes, you can use IntelliJ - everyone can use the tools that are best for them, and the project will remain IDE neutral. :) As for the default ant target, you should run that to build the native libraries. We've been talking about making a development kit available that has those precompiled, but I think it's worth your while getting it to build from top to bottom at least once.
