Task 'ide' not found in root project 'spotless'

See original GitHub issue

Hi all 👋 I’m new here and would love to start contributing, but I ran into the following while setting up the IDE for development.

The CONTRIBUTING.md guide mentions twice to run gradlew ide to setup the Eclipse IDE for development. But this results in the following error message:

./gradlew ide

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Task 'ide' not found in root project 'spotless'.

* Try:
Run gradlew tasks to get a list of available tasks. Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

* Get more help at https://help.gradle.org

BUILD FAILED in 589ms

Perhaps the guide is out of date, but I’d like to know how to get started. Generally, I code in IntelliJ-IDEA, but I don’t mind having to switch to Eclipse for this. I’m also not used to using gradle (only maven), so perhaps I just do something wrong 😄

Oh, and re: new markdown formatter:

if your plan is simple, e.g. compatibility shims for FooFormatter, then I would just open a PR
if your plan is complicated, e.g. write a new markdown formatter that lives inside the Spotless repository, then I would discuss the plan in an issue first

Definitely remove references to ide. We still fully support Eclipse developers (@fvgh is one of our primary maintainers and he’s Eclipse), so no need to nudge users one way or another. But if there’s anything missing from the guide which would have helped you, please add it. No need to be “fair”, Eclipse users can add eclipse-specific instructions themselves if they’d like to.
