+# Zed IDE Configuration for OBP-API
+
+This folder contains the recommended Zed IDE configuration for the OBP-API project. Each developer can set up their own personalized Zed environment while maintaining consistent project settings.
+
+## Quick Setup
+
+Run the setup script to copy the configuration files to your local `.zed` folder:
+
+**Linux/macOS:**
+```bash
+./zed/setup-zed.sh
+```
+
+**Windows:**
+```cmd
+zed\setup-zed.bat
+```
+
+This will create a `.zed` folder in the project root with the recommended settings.
+
+## What's Included
+
+### 📁 Configuration Files
+
+- **`settings.json`** - IDE settings optimized for Scala/OBP-API development
+- **`tasks.json`** - Predefined tasks for building, running, and testing the project
+
+### ⚙️ Key Settings
+
+- **Format on save: DISABLED** - Preserves your code formatting choices
+- **Scala LSP (Metals) configuration** - Optimized for Maven-based Scala projects
+- **UI preferences** - Consistent theme, font sizes, and panel layout
+- **Semantic highlighting** - Enhanced code readability
+
+## Available Tasks
+
+Access tasks in Zed with `Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P` → "task: spawn"
+
+### 🚀 Development Tasks
+
+| Task | Command | Description |
+|------|---------|-------------|
+| **[1] Run OBP-API Server** | `mvn jetty:run -pl obp-api` | Starts the OBP-API server on port 8080 |
+| **[2] Test API Root Endpoint** | `curl http://localhost:8080/obp/v5.1.0/root` | Quick API health check |
+| **[3] Compile Only** | `mvn compile -pl obp-api` | Compiles the project without running tests |
+
+### 🔨 Build Tasks
+
+| Task | Command | Description |
+|------|---------|-------------|
+| **[4] Build OBP-API** | `mvn install -pl .,obp-commons -am -DskipTests` | Full build excluding tests |
+| **[5] Clean Target Folders** | `mvn clean` | Removes all compiled artifacts |
+
+### 🧪 Testing & Validation
+
+| Task | Command | Description |
+|------|---------|-------------|
+| **[7] Run Tests** | `mvn test -pl obp-api` | Executes the project test suite |
+| **[8] Maven Validate** | `mvn validate` | Validates project structure and dependencies |
+| **[9] Check Dependencies** | `mvn dependency:resolve` | Downloads and verifies all dependencies |
+
+### 🛠️ Utility Tasks
+
+| Task | Command | Description |
+|------|---------|-------------|
+| **[6] Kill OBP-API Server** | `lsof -ti:8080 \| xargs kill -9` | Terminates any process running on port 8080 |
+
+## Typical Development Workflow
+
+1. **Initial Setup**: `[4] Build OBP-API` - Build the project
+2. **Development**: `[3] Compile Only` - Quick compilation during development
+3. **Testing**: `[1] Run OBP-API Server` → `[2] Test API Root Endpoint`
+4. **Cleanup**: `[6] Kill OBP-API Server` when done
+
+## Maven Configuration
+
+All Maven tasks use optimized JVM settings:
+```
+MAVEN_OPTS="-Xss128m --add-opens=java.base/java.util.jar=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.lang.reflect=ALL-UNNAMED"
+```
+
+These settings resolve Java module system compatibility issues with newer JDK versions.
+
+## Customization
+
+The `.zed` folder is in `.gitignore`, so you can:
+
+- Modify settings without affecting other developers
+- Add personal tasks or shortcuts
+- Adjust themes, fonts, and UI preferences
+- Configure additional language servers
+
+### Example Customizations
+
+**Add a custom task** (in `.zed/tasks.json`):
+```json
+{
+  "label": "My Custom Task",
+  "command": "echo",
+  "args": ["Hello World"],
+  "use_new_terminal": false
+}
+```
+
+**Change theme** (in `.zed/settings.json`):
+```json
+{
+  "theme": "Ayu Dark"
+}
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Port 8080 Already in Use
+```bash
+# Use task [6] or run manually:
+lsof -ti:8080 | xargs kill -9
+```
+
+### Metals LSP Issues
+1. Restart Zed IDE
+2. Run `[8] Maven Validate` to ensure project structure is correct
+3. Check that Java 11+ is installed and configured
+
+### Build Failures
+1. Run `[5] Clean Target Folders`
+2. Run `[9] Check Dependencies` 
+3. Run `[4] Build OBP-API`
+
+## Support
+
+For Zed IDE-specific issues, consult the [Zed documentation](https://zed.dev/docs).
+For OBP-API project issues, refer to the main project README.
