I have been meaning to integrate this with or something like it for ages so I would love to see this happen. > Please let me know what you think. > If we decide to go to 1.6.0 I would also like to invest some time and redo the way we generate intellij idea project files. I would like to be able to support all the different types of projects in idea and all different language/artefact types. (Mostly node/typescript and ruby modules). I have a library that I have been working on that is ~95% complete at https://github.com/realityforge/reality-idea which just helps you generate idea project files. Rewriting this as a library is helping me test it extensively. I have yet to complete the integration back into buildr but I expect I should be able to do that while maintaining the existing API. However I am about to go on holiday for a bit and in preparation mode for baby2 so I suspect I wont be able to get this done until the end of September. If we can wait that long for 1.6.0 then I can get off my caboose and work on that. Otherwise more than happy for a 1.5.4 release and a 1.6.0 release when we get to it. -- Cheers, Peter Donald
