Description

Right now we have separate tasks for each IDE, which results in a lot of code duplication, inconsistent behavior, not to mention total and absolute lack of testing.

What we need:

• A framework for writing IDE tasks that handles all the common behavior, so improvements are rolled to all IDEs simultaneously.
• A way to extend IDE tasks to modify generated files from code, so you don't have to manually edit those after running Buildr.
• Re-generate files whenever a build file (buildfile, build.yaml, etc) changes.
• Tests, tests and more tests.
