positive.code: IDE Setup with Intellij
  -----------------------
  
  This section refers specifically to setup within Intellij.  TinkerPop has a module called `gremlin-shaded` which contains shaded dependencies for some libraries that are widely used and tend to introduce conflicts.  To ensure that Intellij properly interprets this module after importing the Maven `pom.xml` perform the following steps:
  
  . Build `gremlin-shaded` from the command line with `mvn clean install`.
  . Right-click on the `gremlin-shaded` module in the project viewer of Intellij and select "Remove module".
  . In the "Maven Projects" Tool window and click the tool button for "Reimport All Maven projects" (go to `View | Tool Windows | Maven Projects` on the main menu if this panel is not activated).
  . At this point it should be possible to compile and run the tests within Intellij, but in the worst case, use `File | Invalidate Caches/Restart` to ensure that indices properly rebuild.
  
  Note that it maybe be necessary to re-execute these steps if the `gremlin-shaded` `pom.xml` is ever updated.
  
  Developers working on the `neo4j-gremlin` module should enabled the `include-neo4j` Maven profile in Intellij.  This will ensure that tests will properly execute within the IDE.
  
  If Intellij complains about "duplicate sources" for the Groovy files when attempting to compile/run tests, then install the link:http://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7442?pr=idea[GMavenPlus Intellij plugin].
  
  For Committers
  --------------
  
negative.code: link:http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-tinkerpop-dev/[developer mailing list].  As a committer,
  it is a good idea to join both.
  
  It would also be helpful to join the public link:https://s.apache.org/tinkerpop[TinkerPop HipChat room] for developer
  discussion.  This helps contributors to communicate in a more real-time way.  Anyone can join as a guest, but for
  regular contributors it may be best to request that an Apache HipChat account be created.
