Gradle - Intellij Plugin cannot find API Symbol

Hi,

I'm trying to update an old plugin (built for IDEA 2017), which adds support for a custom language, the code imports api such as

import com.intellij.psi.JavaTokenType;

which the IDE by default doesn't find, if I edit the project sdk to a Intellij Platform Plugin SDK, IDEA can find all the symbols, but still the gradle project does not build. I've tried to edit the Gradle JVM but it did not help at all.

 

My build.gradle

plugins {
    id 'java'
    id 'org.jetbrains.intellij' version '0.4.10'
}

sourceSets {
    main.java.srcDirs = ['src/main/java']
}

group 'org.example'
version '1.0-SNAPSHOT'

sourceCompatibility = 1.8


repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    testCompile group: 'junit', name: 'junit', version: '4.12'
}

// See https://github.com/JetBrains/gradle-intellij-plugin/
intellij {
    version '2019.3.3'
}
patchPluginXml {
    changeNotes """
      Add change notes here.<br>
      <em>most HTML tags may be used</em>"""
}

Hello Mattia,

You need to add a dependency to the Java plugin.
Phrase review the Notes about Module and Plugin Dependency section:
https://www.jetbrains.org/intellij/sdk/docs/basics/getting_started/plugin_compatibility.html

Thank you! Editing the build.gradle solved the issue

intellij {
    version '2019.3.3'
    plugins = ['java']
}

I'm sorry, maybe this is a question more related to the Java language rather than the Plugin development, but whenever I try to use a java token type anywhere in the code it gives an error like this one: 

IElementType type = JavaDocTokenType.DOC_COMMENT_DATA ;

I've tried type casting the variable but that also throws an error

Please make sure, you're using Java 1.8 (also for the Gradle)
