Having trouble setting up the JFX project in IntelliJ

[Nir Lisker]

There are IDE instructions here:
https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/OpenJFX/Using+an+IDE

I don't know about IntelliJ since I use Eclipse. The project files there
were pending an update at https://github.com/openjdk/jfx/pull/514, but
since then projects were removed and more changes are planned, so I closed
the PR. Still, you can test the changes there and see if they solve at
least some of the issues. I can create a new PR if you are willing to serve
as a reviewer because lack of reviewers is what stops the PRs for updating
the Eclipse files.

Some tests, like ones that use the Robot API, require additional command
line arguments to work, so just clicking run on the unit test won't work. I
tend to run those from the command line, but it should be possible to make
them run from Eclipse somehow. Regular unit tests run for me.
