Migrate IntelliJ Idea settings

See original GitHub issue

Exporting settings.jar is no longer supported in IntelliJ Idea. We have to migrate it into settings.zip. Additionally sharing settings through a settings repository looks good for initial setup and continuous updating.

I always enable Settings Sync, so I’m not sure I’d be able to use a settings repository.

An alternative to look at would be adding build scripts that use the IdeaPlugin so the ./gradlew idea task sets it up automatically. I’ve had good experience with this.

This might be an example (in Java, but the XML logic would actually be a lot simpler if migrated to a Groovy build script)

It’s a bit tricky ensuring the right merge semantics, but once it’s done once it works well I think.

Incidentally, the intellij idea is correct, but Eclipse requires a separate plugin to be installed. I’m used to the Armeria setup, so I’m using it for my personal projects. 😎
