    Right now, I suggest just clone kobalt and point IDEA to it

    yep, I suspected that was the answer, and I should volunteer to help, but then I don't know how fast I can come up to speed with intellij APIs and how patient you are to answering newbie questions simple smile

    Answering questions is easy simple smile

    The plug-in is pretty simple right now, if you want to learn the IDEA API's, it would be a good starting point where you don't start with a huge complicated plug-in

    ok, how about then explaining to a fellow programmer what's the intention behind "Synchronize build file" ?
  • c

    02/20/2016, 5:23 PM
    Just to update the depedencies as Intellij sees it ?
  • c

    Exactly.

    Are you familiar with the project structure? Modules and Libraries?

    Open it

    Yes, it gets pretty confusing for a newbie user (Intellij is challenging enough on its own for people used to the way Eclipse is doing things)

    I uncommented dependencies { compile("com.beustjcommander1.48") }

    Took me a while to get used to it coming from Eclipse too but it makes a lot of sense
  • c

    First, you define Libraries, which can contain multiple jar files, class files, ...
  • c

    ccozianu

    02/20/2016, 5:28 PM
    and sync the build file, yet in java code I didn't get access to jcaommander apis, and Intellij hasn't added a library
  • c

    cedric

    02/20/2016, 5:28 PM
    then you have modules depend on Libraries
  • c

    cedric

    02/20/2016, 5:28 PM
    When you synchronize your build file, the plug-in launches a kobalt server process, launches it and receives the dependencies from it. Then it configures Modules and Libraries accordingly
  • c

    cedric

    Each Kobalt project is mapped to an IDEA module
  • c

    ccozianu

    02/20/2016, 5:29 PM
    Ah
  • c

    ccozianu

    02/20/2016, 5:29 PM
    Cause maybe I broke this assumption
  • c

    ccozianu

    02/20/2016, 5:29 PM
    when I was poking at it, I set it as a top level project with several modules inside
  • c

    ccozianu

    02/20/2016, 5:31 PM
    So then what object does "sync build file" apply to ?
  • c

    ccozianu

    02/20/2016, 5:31 PM
    Or to make the story shorter, how an optimal workflow would look like, use the command line to generate a project first, load it in Intellij later ?
  • c

    cedric

    02/20/2016, 5:31 PM
    The sync will create its own modules based on your 
    Build.kt
  • c

    ccozianu

    02/20/2016, 5:32 PM
    and dpn't change the structure after that
  • c

    cedric

    02/20/2016, 5:32 PM
    yes
  • c

    ccozianu

    02/20/2016, 5:32 PM
    then we (you likely) should generate an idea project file out of the box
  • c

    ccozianu

    02/20/2016, 5:33 PM
    or maybe generate the maven file from kobalt and import it as maven project in Intellij, would it work ?
  • c

    cedric

    02/20/2016, 5:33 PM
    Yes that's another option but it's a bit fragile since these 
    .iml
    files could change from one version to the next. Going through the IDEA API is safer
