out of the box. Could you be more specific as to what problems you've
encountered?
Having the project files in SVN is very convenient since changes to the
project are automatically updated for everyone. There are multiple
committers who use IntelliJ and find these files convenient.
It's way better to let the build tool generate those files. It keeps the
project consistent, as you don't commit anything relevant to your own env.
My own experience was that, at first, I thought too that it would be a
good idea to keep those files into svn (for the very same reasons you
gave), but after a few months, it proved to be a real burden, as you had
to commit it every time you did a modification, or more problematic, you
are tied with a set of configuration that does not fit your need. Then I
realised that it was not a good idea to store those files in svn, and
was way more convenient to let the build tool generate them for you.
