Intellij Idea plugin development. Setting environment.

If you do not know nothing about the Intellij Idea plugin development flow, you should read an article about it Intellij Idea plugin developvent. The begining.

Another way - let's start to get ready our environment.

Preconditions.

  • Java 1.7
  • IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition or Ultimate.

Getting sources.


To get started is to download the source community version of the IDE, it will take quite a lot of time.
Repository: git:/ / git.jetbrains.org / idea / community.git 

Action is optional but highly advisable because here we find java docks of interest classes and methods, as well as ready-made source plugins (almost all of the code below, I peeped in them).

Creating the project.
Create a plug-in project: File -> New Project
Select the point IntelliJ Platform Plugin



If your project SDK is empty - push the "New" button and select the folder where Intellij Idea installed.
Now you should add downloaded Idea sources into project sourcepath.
Go to the project structure (File -> Project Structure) and on Sourcepath add the sources.



Well, now we have newly created plugin project.
