Configuring plugin projects for targeting IntelliJ Platform-based IDEs other than IntelliJ IDEA.
-Plugin projects can target IDEs other than IntelliJ IDEA, as long as the products are based on the [IntelliJ Platform](intellij_platform.md).
+Plugin projects can target any (custom) IDEs, as long as the products are based on the [IntelliJ Platform](intellij_platform.md).
Such plugins are developed much like plugin projects that target IntelliJ IDEA.
-They can be written in Kotlin or Java, or a mix of both.
-Once completed, the plugins can be packaged and distributed at [JetBrains Marketplace](https://plugins.jetbrains.com).
Project configuration attributes common to projects targeting products other than IntelliJ IDEA are described on this page.
Details particular to an IntelliJ Platform-based product are described on the individual product pages in _Part VIII — Product Specific_.

The Gradle build script is modified to specify the target product, determining the APIs available during development.

If the [](tools_gradle_intellij_plugin.md) supports a target product directly, there will be an [`intellij.type`](tools_gradle_intellij_plugin.md#intellij-extension-type) property defined.
Specifying the target as a product-specific [`intellij.type`](tools_gradle_intellij_plugin.md#intellij-extension-type) property has two advantages:
-* The APIs available to the plugin will be limited to only what is defined in the target product.
- (Unless additional plugin dependencies are specified.)

The [](tools_gradle_intellij_plugin.md) will fetch the matching build of PyCharm Professional to define the APIs available, and use that build of PyCharm (and associated JetBrains Runtime) as the Development Instance.
No additional product-specific configuration needs to be set in the Gradle build script:
