These samples show you how features work and help you jumpstart your plugins. > [!TIP] > To start a new plugin project, consider using [IntelliJ Platform Plugin Template][gh:template] which offers a pure boilerplate template to make it easier to create a new plugin project. > > The code samples can also be found in the [IntelliJ SDK Code Samples](https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-sdk-code-samples) mirror repository. To learn more, browse [available Extension Points][docs:eps], explore Extension Point usages in open-source plugins using [IntelliJ Platform Explorer](https://jb.gg/ipe) and learn how to [Explore the IntelliJ Platform API][docs:explore-api]. ## Target Platform All Code Samples target the latest GA platform release. Previous releases are made available via [tags](https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-sdk-code-samples/tags). ## Structure Code Samples depend on the [IntelliJ Platform SDK][docs] and [Gradle][docs:gradle] as a build system. The main plugin definition file is stored in the `plugin.xml` file, which is created according to the [Plugin Configuration File documentation][docs:plugin.xml]. It describes definitions of the actions, extensions, or listeners provided by the plugin. ## Code Samples Please see [Code Samples][docs:code-samples] topic on how to import and run code samples. In the following table, you may find all available samples provided in the separated directories as stand-alone projects available for running with the Gradle `runIde` task. | Code Sample | Description | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | [Action Basics](./action_basics) | Action and Action Group patterns implementation, adds entries to the Tools menu. | | [Comparing References Inspection](./comparing_string_references_inspection) | Local Inspection Tool, adds entries to **Settings | Editor | Inspections | Java | Probable Bugs**. | | [Conditional Operator Intention](./conditional_operator_intention) | Intention action, suggests converting a ternary operator into an `if` block and adds entry to **Settings | Editor | Intentions | SDK Intentions**. | | [Editor Basics](./editor_basics) | Basic Editor APIs example with editor popup menu with extra actions. | | [Framework Basics](./framework_basics) | Basic *SDK Demo Framework* support added to the **File | New | Project | Java** wizard. | | [Kotlin Demo](./kotlin_demo) | Kotlin example extending the *Main Menu* with a **Greeting** menu group. | | [Live Templates](./live_templates) | Live templates for Markdown language, adds an entry to the **Settings | Editor | Live Templates** dialog. | | [Max Opened Projects](./max_opened_projects) | Application services and listeners, shows warning dialog when more than 3 open projects are opened. | | [Module](./module) | *SDK Demo Module* module type added to the **File | New | Project...** wizard. | | [Product Specific - PyCharm Sample](./product_specific/pycharm_basics) | Plugin project configuration for the PyCharm IDE. | | [Project Model](./project_model) | Interacts with the project model, adds menu items to **Tools** and **Editor Context** menus. | | [Project View Pane](./project_view_pane) | Project View Pane listing only image files. | | [Project Wizard](./project_wizard) | Project Wizard example with demo steps. | | [PSI Demo](./psi_demo) | PSI Navigation features presentation. | | [Run Configuration](./run_configuration) | Run configuration implementation with factory, options and UI. | | [Settings](./settings) | Custom settings panel, adds a settings panel to the **Settings** panel under **Tools**. | | [Simple Language Plugin](./simple_language_plugin) | Custom language support, defines a new *Simple language* with syntax highlighting, annotations, code completion, and other features. | | [Theme Basics](./theme_basics) | Sample *theme* plugin with basic interface modifications. | | [Tool Window](./tool_window) | Custom Tool Window example plugin. | | [Tree Structure Provider](./tree_structure_provider) | Tree Structure Provider showing only plain text files. | [gh:workflow-code-samples]: https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-sdk-docs/actions/workflows/code-samples.yml [gh:template]: https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-platform-plugin-template [jb:github]: https://github.com/JetBrains/.github/blob/main/profile/README.md [jb:docs]: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intellij/ [jb:products]: https://www.jetbrains.com/products.html [jb:forum]: https://platform.jetbrains.com [jb:bsky]: https://bsky.app/profile/platform.jetbrains.com [jb:x]: https://x.com/JBPlatform [docs]: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intellij/ [docs:code-samples]: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intellij/code-samples.html [docs:eps]: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intellij/extension-point-list.html [docs:gradle]: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intellij/developing-plugins.html [docs:plugin.xml]: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intellij/plugin-configuration-file.html [docs:explore-api]: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intellij/explore-api.html
