Where did the Ant build files go? Where are the IntelliJ files?
(I know nothing but) I thought the idea was to move to Maven. IDE
project
files for IntelliJ, Eclipse etc. can be generated via Maven. You can use
"mvn idea:idea" to generate the project files for IDEA (
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-idea-plugin/), but I think the
newest
version has a pretty good support for Maven built-in.
There was tremendous push back on getting rid of the IDEA files that
were checked in and, so, we need to collect a community consensus
before we remove them; don't get me wrong I want to get rid of them
and I think, like you, that they are superfluous.
Also I forgot to mention that we have to update the web site to mention
that the IDE specific files have been removed, and how to create them
(probably in the 'source' part of the project). Don't get for granted
that users or developpers know that 'mvn eclipse:eclipse' will generate
all the .classpath and .project for the projet :)
