Why is that I need to `Invalidate Caches...` so often? Sometimes IDEA doesn't seem to have access to the SDK libraries or whatever and not even a `prinln(...)` is recognized, triggering an error on the IDE (not the compiler/Gradle). What causes this? Can I prevent it? Am I doing something wrong?

Just refreshing gradle module doesn't help? (Note: Refreshing gradle module doesn't work if you have some other long gradle task running on module, like `run`)

You aren't doing anything wrong. These are bugs, I think mostly in shared indices and other caching areas. You can try disabling shared indices, maybe it helps a little but ultimately JetBrains needs to fix this.

Agree. But maybe problem can be mitigated somehow.

Okay, I'll try that. Thanks for replying. I've been living with this since forever and everyone kind of got used to it maybe subconsciously as far as I can tell, but now I find it utterly annoying.

I'm on the latest EAP and it happens less there, so it seems that IntelliJ is working on it.
