   @michael-o You already have them for IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse and NetBeans
   
   My idea was not to hide them in `res/ide-support/idea` but to directly put them where they belong.
   
   Putting them in `res/ide-support/idea` has the following disadvantages in my opinion:
   1. After adjusting IDE settings (thus changing the files in .idea) one has to remember to update the copies in `res/ide-support/idea`
   2. Ever new contributor must know that the ant target `ide-intellij` exists and execute it.
   3. Every existing contributor must remember to reexecute the ant target after checking out a revision where the files in `res/ide-support/idea` are different from his(her) local .idea folder
