To use your custom plugin, it must be built, installed, and then enabled using Plugin Manager.
|
|
This section outlines steps to deploy your plugins.
|
|
|
|
To deploy a plugin:
|
|
|
|
* Make your project by invoking **Build \| Make Project**.
|
|
|
|
* Prepare your plugin for deployment.
|
|
To do this, on the main menu, choose **Build \| Prepare Plugin Module \<module name\> for Deployment**.
|
|
If the plugin module does not depend on libraries, the .jar archive will be created.
|
|
Otherwise, a .zip archive will be created. It will include all the plugin libraries specified in the project settings.
|
|
|
|
* Copy the newly created archive file to the *.IntelliJIDEAx0\config\plugins* folder, and then restart Intellij IDEA for changes to take effect.
|
|
|
|
* On the main menu, choose **File \| Settings**.
|
|
The Settings dialog box opens.
|
|
|
|
* In the Settings dialog box, under **IDE Settings**, click **Plugins**.
|
|
|
|
* In the Plugins area, open the **Installed** tab, and then select the check box next to your plugin name.
|
|
|
|
* When finished, click OK to close the Settings dialog box.
|
|
|
|
* For your changes to take effect, restart *Intellij IDEA*. |
