Getting started

This project uses Kotlin and the IntelliJ Platform Plugin development framework. To get started:

  1. Clone the repository
  2. Open the project in IntelliJ IDEA
  3. Ensure you have Java 17 configured in your Project Structure settings
  4. Use the predefined Run/Debug configurations to run or test the plugin

Gradle configuration

The project uses Gradle with the IntelliJ Platform Gradle Plugin for development and build automation.

Key features:

  • Kotlin DSL configuration with type-safe build scripts
  • Version catalog for centralized dependency management
  • IntelliJ Platform Plugin 2.6.0 for modern plugin development
  • Kotlin 2.1.20 following JetBrains standards
  • Java 17 toolchain requirement
  • Gradle 8.13 with configuration cache optimization

Gradle properties

The project configuration in gradle.properties includes:

Property Description
pluginGroup Package namespace: dev.samhoque.intellij.ier
pluginName Plugin display name
pluginVersion Current version in SemVer format
platformType IDE type (IU = IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate)
platformVersion Target IntelliJ Platform version
pluginSinceBuild Minimum supported IDE build
pluginUntilBuild Maximum supported IDE build

Plugin configuration file

The plugin.xml file defines:

  • Plugin metadata and vendor information
  • IDE compatibility ranges
  • Action registrations and menu integrations
  • Extension points and services
  • Resource bundles and icons

Build commands

Important: This project requires Java 17. If you have a newer Java version, specify the path:

With Java 17 as default ./gradlew buildPlugin # With newer Java version (e.g., Java 24) JAVA_HOME=/path/to/java17 ./gradlew buildPlugin

Available commands:

  • ./gradlew buildPlugin - Build the plugin (creates ZIP in build/distributions/)
  • ./gradlew test - Run unit tests
  • ./gradlew clean - Clean build artifacts
  • ./gradlew runIde - Run IDE with plugin for testing

Testing

The project includes JUnit 4.13.2 for testing infrastructure. While no tests are currently implemented, the framework is configured and ready for test development.

Run tests with:

./gradlew test

Continuous integration

GitHub Actions workflows handle:

  • Build: Triggered on push/PR, runs verification and creates draft releases
  • Release: Publishes to JetBrains Marketplace when releases are created
  • Quality: Qodana code quality analysis integration
