| Deploying a Plugin | editable |
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. To know how to locate your plugins directory, refer to IDE Settings, Caches, Logs, and Plugins.
-
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.
