idea-metaservice-gen

Using Java's ServiceLoader pattern requires a lot of boilerplate. You can automate generating Meta-Inf/services with an AnnotationProcessor like AutoService or just use this plugin and call the Generate MetaInf Service Entry action when editing a file.

Install

• run gradle build
• in IntelliJ run Action install Plugin from disk
• choose build/distributions/idea-metaservice-gen-x.x.x.zip

Limitations

• Works only for Kotlin for now. Java support is planned.
• Works only for the first super type. If there are multiple super types, the full qualified name of the first super type will be used.
• src/main/resources source root must exist.
• Refreshing of the module might take some time and you won't see the generated file immediately.
