I've pulled down Elasticsearch from github. I'm want to run it locally. What do you typically add to your VM options, Program Arguments, etc? How do you set up your local environment?

RESOLVED:  
I found in the [testing documentation] ([https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/master/TESTING.asciidoc](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/master/TESTING.asciidoc))

That you can run gradle in the command line(intellij gradle plugin is not working for me, even on gradle 2.13) so I ran `gradle run --debug-jvm` Then I create a Remote in Intellij's Run/Debug Configurations and target port 8000 on localhost:
