Find convenient way to handle the .idea folder #24
Description
Right now, the name of the JVM is hardcoded in the Gradle file, which is a problem if your JVM in IntelliJ has a different name.
Additionally, changes to the JVM / project structure are picked up as version control changes, which we want to avoid.
Definition of Done
- The project can be imported into any JetBrains IDE regardless of the installed JVM name
- The Jetbrains IDE support is OS independent
- Changes to the project structure are not tracked in the version control
Tasks
- Find a feasible solution
- Sync with the project maintainers about the proposed solution
- Implement the accepted solution
- Document solution (DEV-GUIDE.md)
- Test solution on different operating systems
Additional context
- Possible idea would be a script that creates the .idea contents
- Think about how to do it - should we use Gradle, Bash / CMD?
