If you go to Idea IDE, and use the tool to export settings, it generates a file called IDEA-style.jar. (https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/2016.2/exporting-and-importing-settings.html)
If you explode the JAR you will be breaking the file. This is as useful as org.eclipse.jdt.ui.prefs and org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs for Eclipse users. It needs to be kept. It doesn't also break anything on the release, as these JARs don't represent any software. They are just IDE settings useful for anyone dealing with the source code. It's not used to build the software.. so there's nothing wrong from the document you just pointed. On Tue, Aug 16, 2016 at 7:15 PM, John D.
