Research direction

Start by investigating how IntelliJ registers quick fixes for warnings or errors, then compare that extension point with the Eclipse plugin behavior described in the issue. The issue is complete when a quick fix exists for the property-mapping diagnostic and its intended behavior is verified, but no files or tests are identified here.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The eclipse plugin has a quick fix for the error "Can't map property X prop to Y prop. Consider to declare/implement a mapping method ...".

I still am not sure if IntelliJ has a way to register a quick fix for a warning / error (this is how Eclipse handles this now)
