Re: Removing toplevel prefix from the generated IntelliJ IDEA .iml files

[Peter Donald <pe...@realityforge.org>]

Hi,

You may want to check out buildr-iidea [1] which is an enhanced suite
of task to generate IDEA project files. It can be configured to do
what you want and much more besides that. If you try it out and find
anything missing then drop me a line.
