| 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.
-
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.
