I wanted to update at the comment earlier made by DaShaun, but as it is my first time commenting, application didn't allow me.

Nonetheless, I am using eclipse and after I added the below mention code snippet to my pom.xml as suggested by Dashun and I ran the mvn clean package to generate the avro source files, but I was still getting compilation error in the workspace.

I right clicked on project_name -> maven -> update project and updated the project, which added the target/generated-sources as a source folder to my eclipse project.

    <artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.4</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>

                </sources>
            </configuration>
        </execution>

With gradle, the project settings will be cleared whenever you refresh the gradle settings. Instead you need to add the following lines (or similar) in your build.gradle, I'm using kotlin so:

sourceSets {
    main {
        java {
            srcDir "${buildDir.absolutePath}/generated/source/kapt/main"
        }
    }
}

i ran mvn generate-resources and then marked the /target/generated-resources folder as "sources" (Project Structure -> Project Settings -> Modules -> Select /target/generated-resources -> Click on blue "Sources" icon.

I had the same issue with Eclipse a couple of months ago when importing my project. Now I had the same with intelliJ. Here is how someone helped me to solve this in IntelliJ:

Menu => View => Tools windows => Maven Project In the spring_user value => Run Configuration, choose clean install. This should do a clean install and after this you should be able to see the classes
