Running and Debugging a Plugin

The IntelliJ Platform allows you to run and debug a plugin without leaving the IDE. To run or debug the plugin from within IntelliJ IDEA, you need a configured special profile (a Plugin Run/Debug configuration) that specifies the plugin module, VM parameters and other specific options.

For information on how to change the Run/Debug configuration profile, refer to Run/Debug Configuration and Run/Debug Configuration: Plugin in IntelliJ IDEA Web Help.

Using IntelliJ IDEA's debugger, you can find out the origin of the run-time errors and exceptions.

To debug a plugin

  • Select Run | Debug in the main menu, or press Shift + F9.

To run a plugin

  • Select Run | Run in the main menu, or press Shift + F10.
