Add instructions on how to open this project in intellij

[StokeMasterJack]

This may sound like a stupid question, but it is not obvious how to open this project in intellij. Do we use "Import Project" or "Open".

If I choose open, I'm prompted to import gradle project. Then it asks:

Please select the modules/data to include in the project. If you accept the default (all of them) you are then prompted to remove something from the project:

Should it be this complex to open a project in IntelliJ?

Then after accepting all of the defaults, I end up getting this message:

But if do as instructed, I get more errors:

I am guessing that many Kotlin early adopters are also IntelliJ users. So it would be a good idea to make it simple for these folks.

So after all that, I went to line 29 of HomeView.kt and changed:

h2 { +"Thoughts" }

to

h2 { +"Thoughts 2" }

Then I hit Command + S.

Went back to browser, hoping to see hot reload. No hot reload. So next I tried doing Command + F9. Then I hit refresh in the browser. And that caused the client to crash, with this message in the JavaScript console:

Uncaught Error: Module build failed: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Volumes/repos/kotlin-fullstack-sample/frontend/build/js/frontend.js'

Hi! I'm having the same troubles you had opening this project. How did you solve them?

I always get the error message "Error: Failed to load project configuration: cannot read file .....idea\misc.xml .... not found"

@dabeschte I solved that error by going to errors in backend, and a "Select SDK" popped up, I selected 1.8 and building's been working ever since.
