Only the Netbeans section has a warning telling you to delete src.zip. 
Neither Intellij nor Eclipse do.


A user shouldn't have to do that anyway though! This could be easily 
fixed. Literally all you need to do is in this section:


// Zip module sources for standalone SDK
     //
     // NOTE: the input is taken from the modular-sdk/modules_src dir
     // so that we don't have to duplicate the logic and create another
     // temporary directory. This is somewhat inelegant, since the 
bundled sdk
     // and the standalone sdk should be independent of one another, but 
seems
     // better than the alternatives.
     def zipSourceFilesTask = 
project.task("zipSourceFilesStandalone$t.capital", type: Zip, dependsOn: 
buildModulesTask) {
         destinationDir = file("${standaloneLibDir}")
         archiveName = standaloneSrcZipName
         includeEmptyDirs = false
         from modulesSrcDir
         include "**/*.java"
     }


change:


destinationDir = file("${standaloneLibDir}")


to:


destinationDir = file("${standaloneSdkDir}")


That's it. Literally less than a minute, like I said. You can put zip 
files in zip files, it doesn't matter. This is a really stupid thing to 
be stubborn about.
