Setup guide(s) for contributors?

[clrg]

I'm not having much success getting started - likely in part to do with my infamiliarity with both git and gradle.

I've cloned the respository, imported the project in Eclipse. I've tried running the gradle 'dependencies' task but it does not seem to work. I've tried running 'gradlew.bat' first, and tried the gradle task from both Eclipse and from a command prompt.

Perhaps some kind of basic guide to building FreeRails should be integrated as part of the standard documentation (i.e. appear on the root page of github).

I tried with IntelliJ and Netbeans but not with Eclipse (only used it many years ago). It should support gradle projects though.

I will test and write step-by-step recipes for setting up the project on these three major IDEs and integrate them in the documentation. Contributing should not fail because of that. ;)

Now there is some sort of setup guide for a couple of IDEs. Basically you have to import the checked out repository as a Gradle project. Could you maybe give it a try and tell me if it worked?
