Add classes corresponding to the xBaseWar war to the provided classpath in intellij

[vierbergenlars]

For debugging Alfresco related things, it is nice to have all alfresco classes available in IntelliJ IDEA, so they can be found and looked at.

Adding an extra configuration that contains the classes variant seems to work. It pulls in transitive dependencies of the war as well. We can then add that configuration to the 'provided' scope with the idea plugin.

Example that works directly in the build.gradle:

configurations {
   alfrescoBaseWarClasses
}

dependencies {
    baseAlfrescoWar "org.alfresco:alfresco-enterprise:5.1.4.1@war" // Note: this one already existed, the *classes variant is based on this one. Of course, this should be done automatically.
    baseAlfrescoWarClasses "org.alfresco:alfresco-enterprise:5.1.4.1:classes"
}

idea {
    module {
        scopes.PROVIDED.plus += [ configurations.baseAlfrescoWarClasses ]
    }
}
