plugin does not recognize google protobufs

[ghost]

I have a proto file importing "google/protobuf/empty.proto". The IDE editor says that the "empty.proto" file was not found.

this is very irritating

You can specify directories to be included for import validation in Project > Properties > Protocol Buffer > Import Paths
I unzipped my protobuf maven dependency and added C:\Users<username>.m2\repository\com\google\protobuf\protobuf-java\3.17.3\protobuf-java-3.17.3

I guess thats not a very good integration but it works.
