official JetBrains project Join the chat at https://gitter.im/JetBrains/gradle-intellij-plugin Gradle Plugin Release

This project requires JVM version of at least 1.7

gradle-intellij-plugin

This plugin allows you to build plugins for IntelliJ platform using specific IntelliJ SDK and bundled plugins.

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

Usage

Gradle

plugins {
  id "org.jetbrains.intellij" version "0.3.12"
}

Other Setups

Pre Gradle 2.1 - Use the following code when Gradle is not at version 2.1 or higher (Click to expand)...
buildscript {
  repositories {
    maven {
      url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"
    }
  }
  dependencies {
    classpath "gradle.plugin.org.jetbrains.intellij.plugins:gradle-intellij-plugin:0.3.12"
  }
}

apply plugin: 'org.jetbrains.intellij'
SNAPSHOT - Use the following code to get the lastest features (Click to expand)...
buildscript {
  repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven {
      url "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/"
    }
    maven { 
      url 'http://dl.bintray.com/jetbrains/intellij-plugin-service'

Tasks

Plugin introduces the following tasks

Task Description
buildPlugin Assembles plugin and prepares zip archive for deployment.
patchPluginXml Collects all plugin.xml files in sources and fill since/until build and version attributes.

publishPlugin Uploads plugin distribution archive to http://plugins.jetbrains.com.
verifyPlugin Validates plugin.xml and plugin's structure.

Configuration

Plugin provides following options to configure target IntelliJ SDK and build archive

Setup DSL

The following attributes are part of the Setup DSL intellij { ... } in which allows you to setup the environment and dependencies.

Attributes Values
pluginName - The name of the target zip-archive and defines the name of plugin artifact. Acceptable Values:
String - 'gradle-intellij-plugin'

Default Value: $project.name
version - The version of the IDEA distribution that should be used as a dependency.

Notes:
  • Value may have IC-, IU- or JPS- prefix in order to define IDEA distribution type.
  • intellij.version and intellij.localPath should not be specified at the same time.
Acceptable Values:
  • build #
    '2017.2.5' or 'IC-2017.2.5'
  • version #
    '172.4343' or 'IU-172.4343'
  • 'LATEST-EAP-SNAPSHOT'
  • 'LATEST-TRUNK-SNAPSHOT'
Default Value: 'LATEST-EAP-SNAPSHOT'
type - The type of IDEA distribution. Acceptable Values:
  • 'IC' - Community Edition.
  • 'IU' - Ultimate Edition.
  • 'JPS' - JPS-only.
  • 'RD' - Rider.
  • 'MPS' - MPS.
Default Value: 'IC'
plugins - The list of bundled IDEA plugins and plugins from the IDEA repository.

Notes:
  • For plugins from the IDEA repository use format pluginId:version.
  • For bundled plugins use directory name of the plugin in IDEA distribution (e.g. Groovy for IDEA/plugins/Groovy).
  • For sub-projects use project reference project(':subproject').
Acceptable Values:
  1. org.plugin.id:version[@channel]
    'org.intellij.plugins.markdown:8.5.0', 'org.intellij.scala:2017.2.638@nightly'
  2. bundledPluginName
    'android', 'Groovy'
  3. project(':projectName')
    project(':plugin-subproject')
Default Value: none
updateSinceUntilBuild - Should plugin patch plugin.xml with since and until build values?

Notes:
  • If true then user-defined values from patchPluginXml.sinceBuild and patchPluginXml.untilBuild will be used (or their default values if none set).
Acceptable Values: true false

Default Value: true
sameSinceUntilBuild - Should plugin patch plugin.xml with an until build value that is just an "open" since build?

Notes:
  • Is useful for building plugins against EAP IDEA builds.
  • If true then the user-defined value from patchPluginXml.sinceBuild (or its default value) will be used as a since and an "open" until value.
  • If patchPluginXml.untilBuild has a value set, then sameSinceUntilBuild is ignored.
Acceptable Values: true false

Default Value: false
instrumentCode - Should plugin instrument java classes with nullability assertions?

Notes:
  • Instrumentation code cannot be performed while using Rider distributions RD.
  • Might be required for compiling forms created by IntelliJ GUI designer.
Acceptable Values: true false

Default Value: true
downloadSources - Should plugin download IntelliJ sources while initializing Gradle build?

Notes:
  • Since sources are not needed while testing on CI, you can set it to false for a particular environment.
Acceptable Values: true false

Default Value: true if CI environment variable is not set
localPath - The path to locally installed IDEA distribution that should be used as a dependency.

Notes:
  • intellij.version and intellij.localPath should not be specified at the same time.

path - '/Applications/IntelliJIDEA.app'

Default Value: null
sandboxDirectory - The path of sandbox directory that is used for running IDEA with developing plugin. Acceptable Values:
path - '${project.rootDir}/.sandbox'

alternativeIdePath - The absolute path to the locally installed JetBrains IDE.

Notes:
  • Use this property if you want to test your plugin in any non-IDEA JetBrains IDE such as WebStorm or Android Studio.

Acceptable Values:
path - '/Applications/Android Studio.app'

Default Value: none
