title: Plugin Dependencies
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
In your plugin, you may depend on classes from other plugins, either bundled, third-party or your own.
|
|
In order to do so, you need to perform the following two steps:
|
|
|
|
* Add the jars of the plugin you're depending on to the classpath of your *IntelliJ Platform SDK*.
|
|
**Note**: Don't add the plugin jars as a library: this will fail at runtime because IntelliJ Platform will load two separate copies of the dependency plugin classes.
|
|
|
|
* Add a `<depends>` tag to your plugin.xml, adding the ID of the plugin you're depending on as the contents of the tag.
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
```xml
|
|
<depends>org.jetbrains.idea.maven</depends>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To find out the ID of the plugin you're depending on, locate the META-INF/plugin.xml file inside its jar and check the contents of the `<id>` tag.
