Sadly (and purely my fault) the GUI demo is tied to IntelliJ and uses  
IntelliJ tooling to generate stuff.  Sorry, just not a GUI programmer  
and was looking for a quick way to get an effective GUI up and running.

The Maven build does build the sources to a usable executable even if  
you don't have IntelliJ though.

If you - or anyone else - knows of/is interested in porting this to a  
more IDE-agnostic mechanism, be my guest.
