title: How do I load a avro schema in IntelliJ?
body: <p>I cloned a project from github and now have it open as a project in IntelliJ. 
  The project is written in Scala. </p>
  
  <p>The project depends on some objects defined in an avro schema that is in another project on github. The avro schema is a single *.avdl file. </p>
  
  <p>How do I load the avro *.advl schema / file in my project in IntelliJ? </p>
  
  <p>So that the object types defined in the avro schema are known in the rest of the project. </p>
  
  <p>Does IntelliJ recognize avro *.advl files? 
  Do I need to generate Scala/Java classes somehow from the avro advl file? And then load these classes?</p>
