Kotlin support for Qute

[aslary]

First of all, thank you for providing this awesome plugin completely for free. It is very valuable for us devs who prefer the fully open source IntelliJ Community Edition.

When writing endpoints in Java with type-safe Qute templates (either @CheckedTemplate or record syntax) the IDE maps the methods/records to the corresponding HTML files, allowing for type safety inside the HTML files (paramaters of the methods/records).

This works incredibely well for Java, however, I was not able to make this work with Kotlin.

In Kotlin, one has to use the @JvmStatic hack to express Java "native" methods. I suppose this might be the reason why there is no syntax help and links to the HTML files, I might be wrong though.

I would appreciate any help!

Thanks so much for your nice feedback.

The Qute support requires to scan classpath to collect Qute data (like map HTML file with Java method by using the CheckedTemplate annotation).

Today this scan works only with the PsiJavaFile but not with the PsiKotlinFile.

We have the same problem for the micropofile/quarkus properties #1362

I think (not sure) that it exists a commons API to visit PsiJavaFile/PsiKotlinFile. We should explore this API and use it, but it is not a trivial issue and a long task.

If we see that we have more and more people who are using Kotlin with Quarkus we could try to investigate but for now we are super busy with other fixes / features.

If you have an IJ plugin developer,any contribution are welcome! I could assist you.
