Generate boilerplate in shared sources

to a place that works for Intellij

I like this change – seems more convenient to work with.

I wonder if it is possible to change a location of boilerplate source files too.
Because currently it is just <root>/project/ which does not seem to be obvious and easy to discover.

Yes, this is possible. Here's how sbt-tl uses its own sources in its build.

Sorry, I took another look at this, and I'm not that crazy about it. I don't like changing default settings for a particular build. IMO either

1. this seems like an IntelliJ issue that should be fixed instead of worked-around.
2. it's an sbt issue and it should be changed at a higher-level (e.g. sbt-typelevel or sbt itself ideally)

I suspect it's more of a (1) :)

I agree it should be fixed in Intellij but I don't see why it means that it shouldn't be worked around.

Dunno, I think most projects don't generate boilerplate. This change only makes sense when the generated boilerplate is shared sources in a cross-compiled module. And needs a .gitignore addition as well. So it doesn't seem possible to fix that in sbt.
