IntelliJ Idea generated source

Question

Just new to IntelliJ Idea. I have maven project which has few generated source java files. When I import that project Idea complaints about generated source files are missing but I can see those files under target/generated-sources. How can I add those files in the classpath.

Answer 1

You can go to Files > Project Structure and then choose your module and on the sources tab you can navigate to the generated-sources dir and click Mark as > Sources:

Additionally, folder could be assigned to the specific type from the Project panel via mark directory as context menu.

To have maven do it automatically, look here: How to create folder for generated sources in Maven?

Answer 2

just follow the step in IntelliJ.

1. Right-click on project folder.
2. Select maven.
3. Generate source and update the project folder
