How do I configure IntelliJ/gradle to use dagger 2.0

Question

I have a gradle project and I want to use dagger 2.0 in it. I don't know how to configure IntelliJ and gradle to generate files and let IntelliJ find them?

My build.gradle file looks like:

apply plugin: 'java' apply plugin: 'idea'  version = '1.0'  repositories {     mavenCentral()     maven {         url "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots"     } }  dependencies {     compile 'org.slf4j:slf4j-api:1.7.12'     compile 'org.slf4j:slf4j-simple:1.7.12'     compile 'commons-configuration:commons-configuration:1.10'     compile 'commons-collections:commons-collections:3.2.1'     compile 'com.google.dagger:dagger:2.0'     compile 'com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.0:jar-with-dependencies'     compile 'com.pi4j:pi4j-distribution:1.1-SNAPSHOT' } 

In the build directory of my application the file DaggerXmlConfigurationComponent exists, which is a component Dagger creates. But I can't use it in IntelliJ because it can't find the class.

This is not an Android application but an application for the Raspberry Pi.

You'll have to manually enable annotation processing for IntelliJ: in Settings… → Build, Execution, Deployment → Compiler → Annotation Processors, check Enable annotation processing and Obtain processors from project classpath.
