Adding IDE assistance for extension method creating map constructor

Hi,

I have a Java codebase that I test with Groovy. We have an entrenched pattern of “config classes”, which are immutable value classes with defaults. They look like this:

public final class SomeConfig {

  public final String someParam;
  public final String someOtherParam;

  public SomeConfig(String someParam, String someOtherParam) {
    this.someParam = someParam == null ? "default" : someParam;
    this.someOtherParam = someOtherParam == null ? "default" : someOtherParam;
  }

}

These can end up with several fields and constructor params. It's common to want to construct one of these at test time and just augment one default. Ideally, this would work in Groovy…

new SomeConfig(someParam: "overridden")

To construct this while just overriding that one param. I have a Groovy extension method that does this via a factory method…

final class ConfigTypeExtension {

    static <T> T createConfig(Class<T> clazz, Map<String, ?> map = [:]) {
        def constructor = clazz.constructors.first()
        def params = []
        constructor.parameters.each {
            params << map[it.name]
        }
        constructor.newInstance(params.toArray()) as T
    }

}

This allows:

SomeConfig.createConfig(someParam: "overridden")

My question is: Is there anyway I can make IDEA understand this relationship? Ideally I would be able to autocomplete the map entry names for the createConfig() method, and ideally ideally have the map keys be navigable through to the constructor.

I took a brief look at GDSL and wasn't sure if it could achieve this or whether it was now defunct.
