Raw Blame History

The Gradle IntelliJ Plugin is a plugin for the Gradle build system to help configuring your environment for building, testing, verifying, and publishing plugins for IntelliJ-based IDEs.

Current Gradle IntelliJ Plugin version is GitHub Release

{type="note"}

This plugin allows you to build plugins for IntelliJ Platform using specified IntelliJ SDK and bundled or third-party plugins.

The plugin provides the functionalities like:

  • adding extra IntelliJ-specific dependencies
  • patching processResources tasks to fill some tags (name, version) in plugin.xml with appropriate values
  • patching compile tasks to instrument code with nullability assertions and form classes made with IntelliJ GUI Designer
  • additional build steps which might be helpful while developing plugins for IntelliJ platform

Usage

To enable this plugin in your Gradle-based project, register the plugin in the Gradle build script's plugins section:

plugins {
  id("org.jetbrains.intellij") version "..."
}
plugins {
  id "org.jetbrains.intellij" version "..."
}

When upgrading to 1.x version, please make sure to follow migration guide to adjust your existing build script.

Gradle JVM must be set to Java 11 (see Settings/Preferences | Build, Execution, Deployment | Build Tools | Gradle)

{type="tip"}

This project requires Gradle 6.7 or newer, however it is recommended to use the latest Gradle available. Update it with:

./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version=VERSION

See also: Gradle Installation guide. {type="tip"}

Snapshot Release

The Snapshot release is a pre-release version built nightly from the latest main branch as it is built every day using the same version number, it's not recommended to use it for production builds.

For switching to the snapshot release, point Gradle to the dedicated snapshot repository by adding an entry to the Gradle settings file.

The current Gradle IntelliJ Plugin Snapshot version is GitHub Snapshot Release

{type="note"}

build.gradle.kts

plugins {
    id("org.jetbrains.intellij") version "..."
}

settings.gradle.kts

pluginManagement {
    repositories {
        maven("https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/")
        gradlePluginPortal()
    }
}

build.gradle

plugins {
    id "org.jetbrains.intellij" version "..."
}

settings.gradle

pluginManagement {
    repositories {
        maven {
            url 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/'
        }
        gradlePluginPortal()
    }
}

Please see CONTRIBUTING on how to submit feedback and contribute to this project.

Before visiting the Issue Tracker, update both plugin and Gradle to the latest versions.

{type="tip"}

IntelliJ Extension

After the Gradle IntelliJ Plugin is applied, the intellij extension can be used to configure the plugin and common settings of the provided tasks.

It is mandatory to specify at least the intellij.version property.

Example:

intellij {
    version.set("2022.1.1")
    type.set("IU")
    plugins.set(listOf("com.jetbrains.php:221.5787.21"))
}
intellij {
    version = "2022.1.1"
    type = "IU"
    plugins = ["com.jetbrains.php:221.5787.21"]
}

Build Features

With the Gradle IntelliJ Plugin releases, new features are introduced that require additional research, collecting more feedback from developers, or should be enabled or disabled under particular conditions. Build Features are an implementation of the feature flags concept and let you control some behaviors of the Gradle IntelliJ Plugin. To enable or disable a particular feature, add the Project property to the gradle.properties file, like:

org.jetbrains.intellij.buildFeature.buildFeatureName=false

selfUpdateCheck

{id="build-features-selfupdatecheck"}

Check if the currently used Gradle IntelliJ Plugin is outdated.

{style="narrow"}
Default value
true

useDependencyFirstResolutionStrategy

{id="build-features-usedependencyfirstresolutionstrategy"}

Set the ResolutionStrategy.SortOrder.DEPENDENCY_FIRST resolution strategy for compileClasspath and testCompileClasspath Gradle configurations. This behaviour allows for making the dependencies specified in the project's Gradle configuration considered before the dependencies added by the Gradle IntelliJ Plugin. See JetBrains/gradle-intellij-plugin#656 for more details.
