An alternative using symbolic links

  
  Running '''`ant clean-idea`''' from the command line removes all IntelliJ configuration files.  If you already have an existing configuration, but want to replace it with the one provided by '''`ant idea`''', it's a good idea to run '''`ant clean-idea`''' first.  <!> '''WARNING''': IntelliJ apparently uses the `.idea/` directory, which is removed by '''`ant clean-idea`''', to store shelved changes - do not run '''`ant clean-idea`''' if you have shelved any changes. <!>
  
+ An alternative approach to use symbolic links instead of copying the IntelliJ files is to run the following on a Unix/Linux based OS:
+ {{{
+ ln -s dev-tools/idea/.idea; (cd dev-tools/idea/; find . -name '*.iml' -exec ln {} ../../{} \; )
+ }}}
+ The great thing about this is that when the IntelliJ files get updated, you get those changes.  You may need to remember to tell IntelliJ to ignore changes to dev-tools/idea, and you still may want to re-sync just your .iml files from time to time.

  === Code Style ===
  If you use the "ant idea" target, the correct code style file will be automatically installed. But if you simply '''must''' do this yourself, use the link below. You'll have to change the file a bit for it to show up in your drop-down...
