hey there i'm trying to learn Kapt annotation processing. I have this toy project, with a `@TestAnnotation`, a `Hello` class annotated, and a `TestProcessor` that generates a new class named "&lt;AnnotatedClassName&gt;_Banana" with a method `eat`, in this case `Hello_Banana`.

Everything is in place correctly, and from maven it works just fine. How should I let Intellij use the annotation processor as well? I tried like in the second screendshot but with no luck...

Thank you in advance you for your help

ok... from official kotlin Kapt documentation
&gt; Please note that kapt is still not supported for IntelliJ IDEA’s own build system. Launch the build from the “Maven Projects” toolbar whenever you want to re-run the annotation processing.

this is the related issue <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-15040>

anyway... doing the build with maven does the trick
