Bumped into weird problem while writing IJ plugin which uses kotlin-compiler.jar. The problem is that the jar contains part of IJ API, in particular com.intellij.openapi.application.ApplicationManager. So at runtime there are two sets of openapi classes namespaced by classloader. My plugin sees classes from kotlin-compiler.jar which are not initialised, e.g. ApplicationManager.getApplication() is null. Does anyone know what is the proper workaround? <— The answer is to use kotlin-compiler-embeddable.
