From 009fc8535dd416c4ad85b7ba6b8c3a35cdd58f5a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Baasil Ali Date: Tue, 5 Aug 2025 22:25:12 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fix: enhance JAVA_HOME detection for IntelliJ IDEA integration Implements comprehensive JAVA_HOME detection to resolve issues where IntelliJ IDEA cannot automatically detect Java installations when importing Elide projects. Key changes: - Add multi-strategy JAVA_HOME detection script with platform-specific fallbacks - Enhance IntelliJ IDEA integration configuration in build.gradle.kts - Remove Java 17 incompatible JVM arguments from gradle.properties - Support environment variables, system properties, and custom override files - Add auto-generation of gradle.properties for sample projects This fix eliminates the need for manual JAVA_HOME configuration when running Kotlin main functions in IntelliJ IDEA across different operating systems and Java installation patterns.
