Since the project has been migrated to the Gradle and Gradle IntelliJ plugin, the build process is quite simple. To build the plugin (including tests) just execute:
gradle build
All required dependencies like IntelliJ SDK, Grammar-Kit, etc are downloaded in the background and triggered properly during the build process. To start an IDE for manual testing, execute:
gradle runIdea
All of the gradle tasks can be connected to the IntelliJ debugger.
