1. `spring-oxm` should be pre-compiled since it's using repackaged dependencies (see *RepackJar tasks). You can precompile `spring-oxm` with `./gradlew cleanIdea :spring-oxm:compileTestJava`

2. `spring-aspects` does not compile out of the box due to references to aspect types unknown to
IntelliJ IDEA. See http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-64446 for details. In the meantime, the
2016-08-30 18:43:59 +08:00

## Tips
2012-12-17 17:16:03 +08:00
In any case, please do not check in your own generated .iml, .ipr, or .iws files.
You'll notice these files are already intentionally in .gitignore. The same policy goes for eclipse metadata.
