IntelliJ plugin for running jtreg tests

[Roger Riggs]

Hi Maurizio,

I've had a spot of trouble with this.

For me the Make Project and Prepare Plugin Module steps created a jar file
with only the plugin.xml and the manifest.  No implementation classes of 
the plugin.
(I have moved my IdeaIC/system directory due to space shortages by
changing the idea.system.path in bin/idea.properties).

2nd when I manually created the jar file from the classes and manifest 
items,
it installed ok but the Settings... jtreg panel just hangs trying to 
initialize.

Is there a way to see the log of the steps it uses to create the artifacts?
That might shed some light on the misconfiguation I suffer from.

Roger
