MissingFrontendOrBackendRuntimeDependency

Reports missing intellij.platform.frontend or intellij.platform.backend runtime dependencies in module descriptors (XML).

Remote Development introduced marker modules for modules that are intended to be loaded in frontend or backend mode:

  • intellij.platform.frontend
  • intellij.platform.backend

If such a dependency is not specified, the IDE will load modules unrelated to the current mode, for example, in frontend mode, it will load backend modules. This will affect performance and may lead to errors.

The inspection is based on frontend/backend module naming convention (*.frontend/*.backend).
