Access classes from other module - intellij-idea

I have an minecraft forge workspace that is made by gradle, I have an project in which I have an module with the mod I'm working on and one module with my library mod, I want to somehow access classes from my library mod from the other module, I imported modules by using their build.gradle and now I have 2 different modules but I can't access one module from another one.

You need to add a dependency from the working module on the library module. If this is a multi-module Gradle build where both projects are modules, you can simply add a project(':library') dependency. If those are separate Gradle builds, you need to add a normal dependency like 'your.group:library-module:1.0' and then either install the library module to some repository like the local maven repository with the mavenPublish plugin to be able to use it from the working module, or use a composite build to replace the dependency by the automatically built result of the library module. For more information on how to do either, you should read the Gradle Userguide.

How to add dependencies to a kotlin library?

I am trying to build a kotlin library for discord bots, which can be found at https://github.com/TheDrone7/discord-kt , published to jcenter (bintray link - https://bintray.com/thedrone7/discordKt/discord-kt). The library has a few dependencies of it's own as well.
When I add my own library to my test app, the library's dependencies were not installed and I started getting some errors. Is there a way to specify the library's dependencies so that they get automatically installed when a user uses my library?
EDIT: -
So basically my test app's build.gradle.kts file's dependencies section is given below
dependencies {
// Use the Kotlin JDK 8 standard library.
implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk8")
implementation("org.theDrone:discordKt:0.0.1a")
// Use the Kotlin test library.
testImplementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-test")
// Use the Kotlin JUnit integration.
testImplementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-test-junit")
}
And my library is dependent on the following packages: -
org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-core:1.1.0
org.java-websocket:Java-WebSocket:1.4.0
com.beust:klaxon:5.0.5
org.slf4j:slf4j-jdk14:1.7.26
now when I run my test app, it shows gives error that there is no class named WebSocketClient which is a part of the org.java-websocket:Java-WebSocket:1.4.0 package and is also the base of my entire library.
When I add the listed packages to my test app's dependencies, it works perfectly fine. So is there a way that I could define in my library that the apps using it will also automatically depend on the packages my library depends on?
You declared the Java-WebSocket library as a dependency of your library using the implementation configuration.
This configuration means: I need that for my code to work, but it's an implementation detail and it's thus not part of my public API, so users of my library won't have access to it in their compile classpath.
So Gradle, when it generates the pom.xml file for your library, adds Java-WebSocket as a runtime dependency, and not as a compile dependency.
Read the java-library plugin documentation, which explains all of that in details. Once you have understood it, use api instead of implementation in your library's build.gradle.kts file for the dependencies that are part of your API, and should thus be compile dependencies and not runtime dependencies:
api("org.java-websocket:Java-WebSocket:1.4.0")

Does It possible to use multiple common libraries in Kotlin?

I have tried to build project in gradle with 3 modules, where:
1) module1 - common module with expect classes
empty build.gradle dependencies
2) module2 - common module with expect classes and with dependency from module 1:
build.gradle dependencies: compile project(':module1')
2) module3 - jvm platform module
build.gradle dependencies: expectedBy project(':module2')
When I try to compile a project, it appears errors in compilation stage of module3, that classes from module2 couldn't find classes from module1.
Kotlin 1.2.30
Gradle 4.6
Java 1.8_161
Does It possible to use multiple common modules together in one project? And does it possible to have expect classes in each common module?
Currently, using common declarations from multiple common modules is not supported, but it is planned for future versions.
In particular, once the fix for KT-22864 is released, it will allow you to add both module1 and module2 as expectedBy dependencies to module3. There's currently no public preview build with the fix, please stay tuned for 1.2.40 EAPs.
If you really want to try it early, you can use a dev build (e.g. 1.2.40-dev-754 from the https://dl.bintray.com/kotlin/kotlin-dev Maven repository).
You can also try a dev build of the IDE plugin (from here) to make the IDE import and analyze multiple expectedBy dependencies properly (1.2.30 can only import one such dependency).
For this it's needed to have more than one expectedBy declaration, which for now is forbidden. But, as say in kotlin slack, it will be possible soon.
So, for now, it's needed to switch to version 1.2.40-dev-754 of kotlin, and then it will be possible to add second expectedBy to dependencies in build.gradle in module3:
expectedBy project(':module1')
expectedBy project(':module2')

Muting Java 9 split package errors on IntelliJ

I have a JDK 9 project. When running mvn install, everything works fine. When using IntelliJ 2017.2.6 with JDK 9.0.4 I come up
with dozens of compilation errors due to split packages. For example, in my POM I set a dependency on org.apache.solr:solr-core:7.2.1. One of the errors displayed by IntelliJ is:
Error:java: module solr.core reads package org.apache.lucene.search from both lucene.misc and lucene.sandbox
The rationale for the compilation error issued by IntelliJ is:
solr-core has Maven dependencies on artifacts lucene-misc and lucene-sandbox
Both lucene-misc.jar and lucene-sandbox.jar define classes in package org.apache.lucene.search
IntelliJ considers that lucene-misc.jar and lucene-sandbox.jar are JDK 9 modules (if fact, they are not modules, they have no module-info.java file). As two JDK 9 modules cannot participate to the same package, IntelliJ issues a compilation error.
By contrast, the Maven compiler pluging issues no error, because it considers lucene-misc.jar and lucene-sandbox.jar as belonging to
the class path, not to the module path.
I obviously don't want to re-package the Lucene stuff.
So my problem boils down to the following: how can I mute IntelliJ errors Error:java: module Mod1 reads package P from both Mod2 and Mod3?
[Short]
It's impossible if you want to run your application from a module code. You have to migrate your code which depend on collision JARs to non-module code and add your collitions jar on the class path. (as suggested in comments)
[Long]
Behind the scene the Intellij try to run the JVM, so the Intellij can run your application only if the JVM can do that.
When you run an application from module jar, that means that you run your application from named module. The module must require all of its dependencies which should be name modules. Note that even automatic modules which are created from your non-module JARs are indeed named.
Java 9 does not allow split-packages for the reason of the reliable configuration, only unnamed modules are excepted from this rule.
The only way to make it works it move your collision jars to unnamed module, but named module cannot depend on unnamed module
A named module cannot, in fact, even declare a dependence upon the unnamed module. This restriction is intentional, since allowing named modules to depend upon the arbitrary content of the class path would make reliable configuration impossible.
so if you don't want repackage collision jars you have to move your modules which require collision jars to non-module jar.
Your maven plugin done with it, because as #Nicolai said:
Maven places them on the class path (where split packages don't matter), whereas IntelliJ places them on the module path (leading to the problems you observe).
See also this answer about running the application from non-module code.

How to import a project with modules and java packages in IntelliJ?

We have a java project with several modules. We use git for versioning and want the developers to be able to chose their own IDE. So we don't push .idea and .iml files with git. This means that developers in IntelliJ needs who clones from git needs to set up the project in IntelliJ as well. However we are having some issues with setting it up. In my own project it works fine and looks like:
Proejct Module (Is this a real module?)
⤷ Module A
⤷ src
⤷ main
⤷ java
⤷ Package 1
⤷ Package 2
⤷ test
⤷ Module B
Before we added packages to the project new developers could just pull from git and open Module P in IntelliJ, then go to project structure and import module from Module A and Module B. However if they try the same thing now IntelliJ tries to make the Modules main and test from Module A.
A workaround we temporarily use for this is to open Module A and B directly as separate IntelliJ projects. If we do this IntelliJ does not try to make modules out of main and test. However this is very inconveniant for us.
How can we fix this?
It's a good approach to make your source control system "agnostic" about the IDE and not check in .idea, *.iml and equivalent things from other IDE's.
However you really need to use a build control system like maven or gradle.
In my workplace we use maven for all our java projects. It's very simple to define a pom.xml at the root level which defines your modules, and many other things.
When you import a maven project into intellij, all the relevant IntelliJ modules are automatically created for you. In essence, you only need to import the pom.xml and you're good to go.
Otherwise it will be a nightmare to import and create modules every time you check out source from git. Maven isn't perfect but I highly recommend using either maven or gradle.
To define multi-modules from the root pom.xml, make a section like this:
<modules>
<module>module-A</module>
<module>module-B</module>
</modules>
And then the pom.xml in both module A and B should define a section referring to the root pom via the <parent> tag.

Play 2 dependency on a local module in Intellij Idea

I am kind of new to PlayFramework 2 and can not figure out how to resolve play 2 application dependencies. I need to add dependency on a local module loaded in IntellijIdea, not a jar file or repository.
While adding module dependencies in Idea project setting works just fine and ide itself is able to resolve them (autocompletion, imports etc are working), when trying to run in play2, its compiler cannot resolve any dependencies.
I manually configured Build.scala (adding val appDependencies = Seq("" % "" % "")) but am puzzled as to what resolvers I should use. I cannot point to a jar file, as it is a work in progress and such a file should be updated too often. Doing so would defeat the whole purpose of managed dependencies.
Play's main build mechanism uses SBT, which needs to know how to find all sources required for the build. There are several options for this:
make your module an SBT project itself and publish it to your local ivy repository. However that might be somewhat complex at this stage, and would involve adding your local ivy repository to the resolvers and re-publishing every time you change something in the module
declare your module as a sub-project. Play's documentation describes the process of working with sub-projects, I think this is the way you'd like to try out since then the idea command on Play's console will generate the IntelliJ configuration for the main application and the module.
