"Re-run SpringBoot Configuration Annotation Processor" in project with Groovy, IntelliJ and Gradle

Question

I'm working with IntelliJ 15.0.6, SpringBoot 1.4.3.RELEASE, Gradle 2.14 and Groovy 2.3.11.

I get the following message from IntelliJ:

I tried following from StackOverFlow, the official documentation and JavaCodeGeeks with no success.

This is my configuration file:

@Configuration
@ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "configuracoes")
class GeralConfiguration {
    def proxyEndereco
    def proxyPorta
}

And the relevant part of my application.yaml file:

configuracoes:
    proxyEndereco: http://fake.com
    proxyPorta: 8080

If I remove @ConfigurationProperties from my configuration file, the message disappears.

This is my build.gradle file:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        maven {url('http://repo.spring.io/plugins-release')}
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:1.4.3.RELEASE")
        classpath('org.springframework.build.gradle:propdeps-plugin:0.0.7')
    }
}

apply plugin: 'groovy'
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'idea'
apply plugin: 'org.springframework.boot'
apply plugin: 'propdeps'
apply plugin: 'propdeps-idea'
sourceCompatibility = 1.7

repositories {
    mavenLocal()
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter")
    compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-devtools")
    optional("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-configuration-processor")
    compile('org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:2.3.11')
    compile('com.machinepublishers:jbrowserdriver:0.17.3')
    compile("org.im4java:im4java:1.4.0")

    testCompile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test")
    testCompile("org.spockframework:spock-core:1.1-groovy-2.4-rc-3")
}

compileJava.dependsOn(processResources)
compileGroovy.dependsOn(processResources)

Any ideas on what is going on and how I can fix this?

Unfortunately, the annotation processor is not supported with Groovy. You may want to report that IJ shouldn't show this warning with Groovy code.

And why doesn't it work in a Java class inside the same project? I understand that java classes are processed by gradle's task `compileJava` and groovy classes by `compileGroovy`. Am I wrong? – Sidney de Moraes Jan 06 '17 at 15:40
It should work with a java class in the same project. I can't tell you why without looking at it. – Stephane Nicoll Jan 06 '17 at 15:51

@Stephane helped me find the answer.

Indeed annotation processor is not supported with Groovy but I didn't manage to get it to work inside src/main/java as well.

I found out that the classes subfolder inside build was marked as excluded by IntelliJ (I don't know why).

As I tried fixing issues one by one I was never getting success. When I performed all fixes at once and marked the classes subfolder as NOT excluded everything worked fine (although IntelliJ keeps showing me the error message).

Thanks to @Stephane for helping me.
