Yes that's configuration for the IDE. But the project itself is configured off of Maven, the project files for the IDE are ADDITIONAL settings for the IDE itself.

For example in CLion you can't create a new target from the IDE, you have to edit the cmake file.

Your wording is not precise

> In order to even get the IDE working with a project you need to configure it to work.

Meaning you already have a Maven/SBT/Gradle project and need to get the IDE to work with it.

"it" in this case refers to the project. If it refers to the IDE then the statement is false. So by logic it must refer to the project itself.

Why else would I come on here to make some claim that is false?
