Thanks for this info and work! A couple relevant notes:
- There is a #beam-intellij slack channel where I tried to collect some
info a few weeks ago when I was debugging IntelliJ issues
- I tried to figure out where IntelliJ stores the info about the
vendored JARs we manually add to various modules, so we could automate
adding them, but failed so far.
- afaict it is not in the .idea directory in the project; I'm not
sure where it goes
- I had some early exchanges on YouTrack with JetBrains folks about
specific issues and possibly opening the Gradle plugin to outside
contributors, but haven't heard anything back in a few months:
- IDEA-195908 <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-195908>:
project import gets corrupted when certain libraries are present in the
local Maven cache (~/.m2)
- IDEA-197980 <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-197980>:
intellij doesn't understand vendored classes (while the CLI does)
- IDEA-198150 <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-198150>: can
the Gradle plugin be open-sourced?
