I noticed that JetBrains is doing EAP releases of IDEA 12. I decided to again bring to their attention the fact that their Gradle support does not import projects like Hibernate O/RM. Just to be sure of that, I went ahead and tried it once more.... So I got a fresh clone of the repo and asked IDEA to import it... and... success! :) Just a heads up -- steve(a)hibernate.org http://hibernate.org
