Hi, the webrev here:

Contains a refresh of the IntelliJ project for JDK. Here's a list of the enhancements:

Added support for overriding standard template settings with other ones defined in user-defined folder (this can be done by specifying the env variable TEMPLATES_OVERRIDES)
Cleaned up unused part of the build.xml script used for building/cleaning/rebuilding the project; the new ant file is a thin wrapper around make, with no extra magic added; also removed unused ant variable from the ant.xml template file
Fixed some broken settings: removed exclusion for src folder (which caused the VCS plugin not to highlight changes in the source code) and removed addition of test source root (as that causes red squiggly lines because some of the tests define mocked up versions of j.l.Object which confuse the IDE)
Consolidate logic in idea.gmk by replacing ad-hoc target "FindIdeaModuleSrcDirs" with the official "FindModuleSrcDirs" one

Cheers Maurizio
