import org.springframework.samples.petclinic.rest.dto does not exist. Controller interfaces do not exist.

I just downloaded the master branch. Build fails because the dto package does not exist. The controller interfaces also do not exist.

I Just discovered that they are all built dynamically by Maven. How can I add those to the sources in IntelliJ so that I don't see all of the compile errors?

Hi @mangelo123
DTOs are generated by MapStruct. Could you follow this instruction https://mapstruct.org/documentation/ide-support/ and please give us a feedback? Thus we could improve the readme.md or add some configuration in the pom.xml. Thanks

Hi @mangelo123
Normally, after building the project, all the generated sources located in the target/generated-sources folder should appear as a source folder in your IDE.

hi,getting below error
java: package org.springframework.samples.petclinic.rest.dto does not exist
can you be more specific and elaborate a little more on what to do to get rid of this?

[alexandre-touret]

Hi,
This package and all the java classes source code belonging to it are generated during the build time.

You have to run this command first:

mvn clean install

The generated source files will be then located in the target folder.

It is the second issue about MapStruct (see #65). Maybe we should add some explanations to the readme?

[alexandre-touret]

@arey Yes. I will do that :)
