-When loading the project in IntelliJ IDEA (and perhaps other IDEs) errors about
-the inaccessibility of `com.sun.tools.javac.*` classes may be reported. If this
-happens, configure your IDE to enable the `add-exports` profile.
+When running the project's tests in IntelliJ IDEA, you might see the following
+error:
+```
+java: exporting a package from system module jdk.compiler is not allowed with --release
+```
+
+If this happens, go to _Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Compiler ->
+Java Compiler_ and deselect the option _Use '--release' option for
+cross-compilation (Java 9 and later)_. See [IDEA-288052][idea-288052] for
