Previously, sources generated from the serpent antlr grammar in ethereumj-core/src/main/antlr4 were output into the build/generated-src directory by default. This worked from the command line without issue, but caused issues within IDEA, because the entirety of the 'build' directory is excluded from compilation by default when working with a Gradle-based project in IDEA. This change simplifies the arrangement by writing these antlr-generated sources to the src/gen/java. A .gitignore file has been added to ensure that transient source files don't accidentally get checked in. A readme file has been added to explain the situation to the uninitiated.

Goals
The ethereumj library is a Java implementation of the Ethereum protocol.
This repository currently contains:
- core: the core library which can be included into your own Java project.
- studio: a simple graphic interface for Ethereum functionality and set of showcases for core usage.
For an early peek, have a looki at this video
Todo
The Ethereum protocol is currenty heavily in development, thus so is this implementation. You can find a todo-list right here and the milestone schedule. For questions you can reach us in #ethereumj on Freenode.
Documentation
To start you can visit Ethereum.org and if you are looking for more information on the concept, the ethereum white paper is a good place to start as it outlines the vision. For the more technical minded, a protocol description can be found in the yellow paper by Gavin Wood.
Maven
The main ethereumj library can be found in the Maven repository
https://bintray.com/ethereum/maven/org.ethereum/view
For building ethereumj-core or ethereumj-studio look in their own individual README
