What kind of change does this PR introduce? (check at least one)
What is the goal of this pull request?
A bit of a personal change. I don't believe in strong formatting policies because those make things harder for contributors.
However, there are some IDE configurations that are helpful to have when contributing to Maven projects.
This PR tries to address that at leas for IntelliJ.
Are there any alternative ways to implement this?
There are plenty of tools. But editorconfig is supported by IntellKJ and vscode.
Are there any implications of this pull request? Anything a user must know?
no
Is it related to an existing issue?
