A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

Having a difficult time using `PersistentStateComponent`. Nothing seems to be calling `loadState()`. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? <https://github.com/johnlindquist/AceJump/blob/master/src/main/kotlin/com/johnlindquist/acejump/config/AceConfig.kt>

loadState() will only be called if there are non-default settings persisted in the .xml file. also classes like this one really need to be services, not application components

changed `AceConfig` to be a service from the plugin manifest and ensured that the settings are non-default. It remembers settings between opening the settings page, but once the IDE is restarted, it forgets all settings. Also I'm not seeing any file called "AceJump.xml" as declared in the Storage annotation

I don’t think PersistentStateComponent actually supports serializing Color values

Oh, that makes sense! But the function `loadState()` is never called, I debugged it. `Settings` also contains a collection of chars which is not persisted. I think it may have something to do with the way Kotlin instantiates objects. Also I'm mixing `Configurable` and `PersistentStateComponent`, could that be a problem?

`Settings` is implemented as a data class: <https://github.com/johnlindquist/AceJump/blob/master/src/main/kotlin/com/johnlindquist/acejump/view/Model.kt#L65> (as suggested here: <http://www.jetbrains.org/intellij/sdk/docs/basics/persisting_state_of_components.html?search=persis#implementing-the-state-class>)

loadState() will only be called if there is some state that has been successfully persisted

Shouldn't `PersistentStateComponent` be able to persist changes to `allowedChars`? I can verify that those changes are being stored inside `AceConfig.settings` as long as the IDE is open
