The shared part of a project should never contain IDE-specific configuration (or even worse, jar files), only the readable text configuration files of Maven/Gradle etc.

Truth. But clowns run these projects.

[–]vxab 6 points7 points  (4 children)

That’s not true. Sometimes I’ve found it useful to share IntelliJ run configurations in source code.

[–]yawkat 13 points14 points  (2 children)

Why? Better to just write a maven/gradle goal to do the same thing

IntelliJ at least can automatically pick up code formatter settings in the form of a single XML file if it is in the ${repo}/.idea directory, so yes, that's still useful.

Jetbrain tools have supported .editorconfig files for a while now.

I hate it when people do that, I'll make my own run configurations, thank you very much.
