 Description   

If I use the "ideaModule" task against a new Intellij 13 .iml file, it breaks some of the new settings for "resources" and "test resources". Below is a snippet of my .iml file.

NEW (this is the new Intellij 13 format for "Mark as" sources). You can now mark directories as: Sources, Tests, Resources, Test Resources, Excluded. The old format was only: Sources, Tests, and Excluded.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<module type="JAVA_MODULE" version="4">
<component name="NewModuleRootManager" inherit-compiler-output="true">
<exclude-output />
<content url="file://$MODULE_DIR$">
<sourceFolder url="file://$MODULE_DIR$/src/main/java" isTestSource="false" />
<sourceFolder url="file://$MODULE_DIR$/src/test/java" isTestSource="true" />
<sourceFolder url="file://$MODULE_DIR$/src/main/resources" type="java-resource" />
<sourceFolder url="file://$MODULE_DIR$/src/test/resources" type="java-test-resource" />
<excludeFolder url="file://$MODULE_DIR$/.gradle" />

GRADLE OLD. The Gradle idea plugin reverts the IML file back to the old format. This causes an error in Intellij 13 because I now have the same "resources" included in two different locations (you can see an example of that below). You can see in the format above the "type" attribute is dropped and the format is restructured. The plugin is basically breaking the new formatting in the configuration.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<module type="JAVA_MODULE" version="4">
<component name="NewModuleRootManager" inherit-compiler-output="true">
<exclude-output />
<content url="file://$MODULE_DIR$">
<sourceFolder url="file://$MODULE_DIR$/src/main/java" isTestSource="false" />
<sourceFolder url="file://$MODULE_DIR$/src/main/resources" isTestSource="false" />
<sourceFolder url="file://$MODULE_DIR$/src/test/java" isTestSource="true" />
<sourceFolder url="file://$MODULE_DIR$/src/main/resources" isTestSource="true" />
<sourceFolder url="file://$MODULE_DIR$/src/test/resources" isTestSource="true" />
<excludeFolder url="file://$DEVROOT$/build/arch" />
<excludeFolder url="file://$MODULE_DIR$/.gradle" />

The idea plugin also removes any assigned "module dependencies".

This is gradle version 1.8, intellij version 13, java 1.7.45.

I can confirm that this still occurs with Gradle version 1.11 and IntelliJ version 13.1.4
