Hi all,

About the IntelliJ automatic method stub issue: I raised it to the
checkerframework list and got a helpful response:
https://groups.google.com/g/checker-framework-discuss/c/KHQdjF4lesk/m/dJ4u1BBNBgAJ

It eventually reached back to Jetbrains and they would appreciate a
detailed report with steps to reproduce, preferably a sample project. Would
you - Jan or Ismaël or Reuven - provide them with this issue report? It
sounds like Jan you have an example ready to go.
