One of the things I would love to see it do is grab your dependencies and create the IntelliJ libraries for you, optional source and Javadoc would be awesome. It would be similar to the core maven plugin that way. Hopefully we'll see first class Gradle project support like we do with Maven: * let IntelliJ open a Gradle project * configure the sub-projects as modules * grab the libraries and configure them for you * etc. I know that is much easier said than done, but I hope such things are on the roadmap for this plugin, it would really go a long way in helping Gradle become better adopted, and help those clicky-click users :) (I'm with you Hans, cli FTW) I agree. We are currently generating Idea projects for our Gradle projects, however, we have highly customized numerous things and enforce some of our own conventions so I'm not certain if ours is a good general solution -- especially considering how custom you can make your Gradle projects. We've also found some deficiencies with representing Gradle projects in Idea (such as Idea assuming a single test output path). But project generation is definitely a good thing to add to Gradle. > I have a strong command line affinity.
