Thank you @User . Yes @User this will allow me to run/debug inside IDEA. However, this contradicts guidance from the IDEA manual: > This information is valid for projects that are built with the native IntelliJ IDEA builder. If you're using a build tool, such as Maven or Gradle, make all changes using the build file. (https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/working-with-module-dependencies.html)
