This plugin allows you to build plugins for IntelliJ platform using specific IntelliJ SDK and bundled plugins.

The plugin adds extra IntelliJ-specific dependencies, patches compile tasks in order to instrument code with nullability assertions and forms classes made with IntelliJ GUI Designer and provides some build steps which might be helpful while developing plugins for IntelliJ platform.

plugins {
  id "org.jetbrains.intellij" version "0.0.20"
}

buildscript {
  repositories {
    maven {
      url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"
    }
  }
  dependencies {
    classpath group: 'org.jetbrains', name: 'gradle-intellij-plugin', version: '0.0.20'
  }
}

apply plugin: 'org.jetbrains.intellij'

Plugin provides following options to configure target IntelliJ SDK and build archive

• intellij.version defines the version of IDEA distribution that should be used as a dependency. The option accepts build numbers, version numbers and two meta values LATEST-EAP-SNAPSHOT, LATEST-TRUNK-SNAPSHOT. Default value: LATEST-EAP-SNAPSHOT

• intellij.plugins defines the list of bundled IDEA plugins that should be used as dependencies. Default value: <empty>

• intellij.pluginName is used for naming target zip-archive and defines the name of plugin artifact. of bundled IDEA plugins that should be used as dependencies. Default value: ${project.name}

• intellij.sandboxDirectory defines path of sandbox directory that is used for running IDEA with developing plugin. Default value: ${project.buildDir}/idea-sandbox

• intellij.instrumentCode defines whether plugin should instrument java classes with nullability assertions. Also it might be required for compiling forms created by IntelliJ GUI designer. Default value: true

• intellij.updateSinceUntilBuild defines whether plugin should patch plugin.xml with since and until build values, if true then IntelliJIDEABuildNumber will be used as a since value and IntelliJIDEABranch.9999 will be used as until value. Default value: true

Plugin introduces following build steps

• patchPluginXml sets project version and since/until build numbers in output plugin.xml file
• prepareSandbox creates proper structure of plugin and fills sandbox directory with it
• buildPlugin assembles plugin and prepares zip archive for deployment
• runIdea executes IntelliJ IDEA instance with installed the plugin you're developing
