Query on developing OpenJDK with IntelliJ

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

I confirm that the use case you bring up is addressed with the available 
IntelliJ project configuration. I've tried creating a project for the 
modules java.base and jdk.jshell, and then opened the class 
jdk.jshell.TaskFactory, which mention the Version class, which is new in 
JDK 9. No red lines, and I could jump to definition as usual.
