Research direction
Review the README and wiki alongside the linked IntelliJ plugin page and source repository. Add a concise mention only if it fits the existing documentation, covering the Gradle and IntelliJ version requirements and that findings refresh after compilation; use the plugin's NullAway test fixture as supporting context.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
I wrote an IntelliJ IDEA plugin, Error Prone (source, Apache-2.0), that shows what Error Prone reports in a Gradle build on the code itself. NullAway's findings come through the same way: underlined at the dereference, with the message and the link, and Alt+Enter adds @SuppressWarnings("NullAway") to the narrowest declaration around it.
It runs no analysis of its own. It shows what the build's NullAway reported, so the IDE and CI agree. The flip side is that findings refresh after a compile, not on every keystroke. It is Gradle only (8.14+) and needs IntelliJ IDEA 2026.1+.
NullAway is part of the plugin's test fixture, one finding of each kind, so a change in how it reports would show up in my CI.
Would a line about it in the README or the wiki be welcome? I can send a PR and sign the CLA. If it is not a fit, feel free to close.
