Research direction

Start with build/ide-config/ide-configuration.adoc and the code-style section of CONTRIBUTING.adoc, then review the IntelliJ formatting approach referenced in the issue. Done means the documentation accurately explains the supported IntelliJ setup and no longer instructs users to use the obsolete Eclipse formatting plugin.
