Research direction

Reproduce the nested mapping example with Location, Point, and coordinates.position.lat in IntelliJ IDEA. Start by tracing how the plugin resolves Point#getPosition() and its generic type argument, then verify autocomplete reaches G2D#getLat(). Done means the property is suggested as G2D rather than the unresolved type parameter P.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Example Source class (Lombok used for brevity):

import org.geolatte.geom.G2D;
import org.geolatte.geom.Point;

@Getter
@Setter
public class Location {
    private Point<G2D> coordinates;

    // ...
}

eg. when attempting to map the latitude of coordinates:

@Mapping(source = "coordinates.position.lat", target = "latitude")

Point#getPosition() returns the type argument, in this case G2D, but the plugin infers it as P (the type parameter), and hence fails to autocomplete the G2D#getLat() property.
