@ -3,17 +3,49 @@ Main types of IntelliJ IDEA plugins
IntelliJ IDEA can be modified and adjusted for particular purposes by adding plugins.
All the plugins which are already available for download can be found at [JetBrains Plugin Repository] (https://plugins.jetbrains.com/).
Most commonly used types of plugins are:
-----
* Custom language support
* Framework integration
* Tools integration
* User interface add-ons
The majority of already existing plugins are complex, so they combine multiple function, but generally these types can be marked out
----------
#Custom language support
Custom language support provides basic functionality for working with a particular programming language. This includes:
* File type recognition
* Lexical analysis and
* Syntax highlighting
* Formatting
* Code insight and code completion
* Inspections and quickfixes
* Intention actions
[Tutorial] (http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/IntelliJIDEA/Custom+Language+Support) for a custom language support implementations
#Framework integration
Framework integrations consists of improved code insight features which are typical for a given framework and
option to use specific functionality of a framework directly from the IDE. May include language support elements
in case of a custom syntax or DSL.
* Specific code insight
* Direct access to the framework's functionality

#Tools integration
Tools integration makes possible to manipulate third-party tools and components directly from the IDE without making a context switch. This implies:
* Implementation of additional actions
* Related UI components
* Access to external resources
[TeamCity integration] (https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/1820?pr=idea) plugin as an example
#User interface add-ons
Plugins from these group apply different changes to the standard user interface of the IDE. Newly added components can either be interactive and provide new functionality, or be just a visual modification.
