Issue2144

The IntelliJ .idea files are not needed in the repository and are, in fact, defunct in some cases (dependencies missing, misconfigured, etc).

Since there is already a way to import the Eclipse configuration included in the repo as is, and have it work well with IDEA, these out-of-date files are maintenance liability and interferes with development if using IDEA.

See: https://wiki.python.org/jython/JythonDeveloperGuide/IntellijNotes

Duplicate of #2113?

I think there's some merit in excluding IDE configuration (Eclipse too) from the repository. I find .classpath, for example, changes frequently and I've taken to excluding it from commits manually each time so as not to add spurious change. They also pick up paths specific to my workspace (such as where I keep source associated to external libraries).

On the other hand, though wrong, the Eclipse files did help me get started.

Santoso, to summarize: we should .hgignore these artifacts?

@Jim,

Yes, add them to .hgignore and remove them from a clean checkout of the repo, as well (since right now they're not fresh and to get IDEA set up you'd need to first delete the checked out files first, etc).

Santoso, thanks. I'm user of IntelliJ, but definitely not a power user. (I otherwise use Emacs.) As a general principle, we want users who use IntelliJ or other editors/IDEs of their choice can set up Jython dev with minimal fuss.

Target beta 4.

I'll do the same for Eclipse. I think it is useful for a new starter to have an IDE configuration works, but the Wiki is a better way to publish it, either as instructions or files.

Fixed in a series of commits culminating in http://hg.python.org/jython/rev/ea302f9e4c3a
