Setting up for working on Graal sources in OpenJDK repo

Hi,

I was wondering what the right way is to generate intellij (or other 
IDE) configs for the Graal sources in OpenJDK?

Specifically I'm working on the module `jdk.internal.vm.compiler`. I've 
tried `bin/.idea.sh jdk.internal.vm.compiler` but this generates a 
project that has a bunch of missing dependencies (I've only worked with 
java.base before so I'm not sure how that is supposed to work tbh).

There's also an mx.graal suite in that module's directory, but when 
running `mx ideinit` this just creates a project for the actual suite 
files, and not for the Graal sources itself it seems.

What's the expected/recommended workflow for working on Graal sources in 
an OpenJDK repo?

Thanks,
Jorn Vernee
