plugin developing guide

• plugin development official guide
• plugin dev project template (official)
  • notices
    • suggest using 2023+ IDEA IC or IU as plugin develop environment
    • upgrade dev tools copy following files from official template code:

       /gradle/*
       /gradle/wrapper/*
      ./build.gradle.kts

    • strongly suggest new plugin dev project generate by click official github template
    • change build.gradle.kts to make building success, generally remove jvmToolchain line: vendor = JvmVendorSpec.JETBRAINS

      // Set the JVM language level used to tools to build the project. Use Java 11 for 2020.3+, and Java 17 for 2022.2+.
      kotlin {
      @Suppress("UnstableApiUsage")
          jvmToolchain {
              languageVersion = JavaLanguageVersion.of(17)
          }
      }
      // Set the JVM compatibility versions to generate plugin classes, javaVersion setting in gradle.properties
      properties("javaVersion").let {
          withType<JavaCompile> {
              sourceCompatibility = it.get()
              targetCompatibility = it.get()
          }
          withType<KotlinCompile> {
              kotlinOptions.jvmTarget = it.get()
          }

  • JAVA11_HOME=path_to_jdk11
  • JAVA17_HOME=path_to_jdk17

# win
.\gradlew.bat clean buildPlugin -i -V
