René's URL Explorer Experiment

{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"IntelliJ IDEA interoperability ","articleBody":"What a cool concept this is! \nNot only does it allow me to change source code for Java files, but also for Kotlin and Scala files (which is what I use it for at the moment).\n\nHowever, I do seem to have some issues to make IntelliJ understand what's happening in my multi-module maven project. \n\nThe current problem I'm having: when running mvn compile, all works well. The tests work, I can hit run in IntelliJ on a file (which is not delegated to maven because that fails in multi module projects because of the other module's package being \"not available on maven central\") and I get the properly modified sources.\nHowever, when I change the source code in a module that contains bits that need preprocessing and I hit run on a file in another module that uses it, the preprocessing won't take place and it won't work anymore (since IntelliJ then skips maven).\n\nIs there any way to make IntelliJ somehow aware of this preprocessor, like it is for annotation processors, so that it always gets preprocessed before executing?\nOr would I for instance have to switch to Gradle for better multi-module support?\n\nIf a plugin would be needed for this, something similar already exists for a JCP-like preprocessor:\nhttps://github.com/FalseHonesty/intellij-preprocessor which also does nice highlighting and such. It's just a bit out of date, but autocomplete and highlighting might actually be a nice feature for JCP too :).","author":{"url":"https://github.com/Jolanrensen","@type":"Person","name":"Jolanrensen"},"datePublished":"2022-06-22T22:11:36.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":5},"url":"https://github.com/42/java-comment-preprocessor/issues/42"}
