IntelliJ 15 and Grails 3: unable to find grails packages

I'm converting a grails 2 plugin to grails 3, using IntelliJ 15.0 Community Edition. For Java files only, IntelliJ gives me many errors about missing packages and symbols from Grails. For example:

Error:(20, 19) java: package grails.core does not exist

and

Error:(23, 41) java: cannot find symbol symbol: class AbstractGrailsClass

I have tried adding dependencies in Project Structure so as to point to the grails sources, but that didn't seem to have any effect. I admit I am a novice when it comes to IntelliJ, so this may be a simple config setting.

In IntelliJ's preferences set up a Grails SDK Home. Open Preferences then type Grails to bring up the page. Then set it to point to your Grails installation e.g.

/Users/whoever/.sdkman/candidates/grails/current

One thing to consider is that Grails 3 requires moving .java files from src/main/java to src/main/groovy

This may be related to why you are experiencing problems.
