Description

### The documentation URL

https://jmeter.apache.org/building.html

### Feedback

On the page there this list of steps to follow to import the project on IntelliJ.

1. Open the build.gradle.kts file with IntelliJ IDEA and choose "Open as Project"
2. Make sure "Create separate module per source set" is selected
3. Make sure "Use default gradle wrapper" is selected
4. In the "File already exists" dialogue, choose "Yes" to overwrite
5. In the "Open Project" dialogue, choose "Delete Existing Project and Import"

But the fact is, from 2 to 5, these instructions are not present anymore in IntelliJ IDEA since 2019.

Yesterday I lost about an hour to figure out how to import the project properly (since I was trying to follow instructions not present anymore) and turned out I only needed to do the step 4 described in the answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72724871/how-to-build-jmeter-5-4-3-in-intellij/72726023
