general Running and Debugging a Plugin

IntelliJ Platform allows you to run and debug a plugin without leaving the IDE. To run or debug the plugin from within IntelliJ IDEA, you need a configured special profile (a Run/Debug configuration) that specifies the class to run, VM parameters and other specific options. In most cases, you can use the default Run/Debug configuration profiles for your plugin projects. For information on how to change the Run/Debug configuration profile, refer to Run/Debug Configuration and Run/Debug Configuration: Plugin in Intellij IDEA Web Help. Using IntelliJ IDEA's debugger, you can find out the origin of the run-time errors and exceptions.
