KB-XXXX @Type annotation not found in appian-plugin-sdk

Symptoms

When importing com.appiancorp.suiteapi.type.Type into a Java class file for a Suite API plugin, the compiler will indicate that the class Type could not be found.

Cause

The Type class is missing from the appian-plugin-sdk.jar file that is used to compile Suite API plugins.

Action

This has been reported to Appian in AN-90744.

As a workaround add <APPIAN_HOME>/deployment/web.war/WEB-INF/lib/appiancorp-suiteapi-annotations-0-SNAPSHOT.jar (when using Tomcat as an application server) to the classpath when compiling the plugin. This requires an Appian installation on the machine that is being used to develop the plugin.
