Stupid question, I can attach a debuger into a compiler plugin, but how do I print something to console? println doesn't seem to work, and I have verbose flag in compile options as well (building via gradle)

In my experience, you need to get a hold of a MessageCollector or create specific diagnostic messages that you can emit with the BindingTrace. Simple printlns work for me in tests but does not show up when running the plugin over a project.

I get output when I use -Dkotlin.compiler.execution.strategy="in-process" when invoking via ./gradlew

You can get a message collector from the CompilerConfiguration object btw using the MESSAGE_COLLECTOR compiler configuration key I think
