Some issues getting started Follow
It's been a long time, since I tried my hand at an IntelliJ plugin.
- Why is
http://www.jetbrains.org/intellij/sdk/docs/basics/getting_started/setting_up_environment.html
talking about adding a module for the plugin to the intellij-community project itself?
(The next chapter "Creating a Plugin Project" creates a separate project anyway...?= - When I try to setup my Platform Plugin SDK, IDEA does not let me select the "IDEA jdk" that I setup according to instructions. It only offers the "1.8" jdk:
- I need to depend on the gradle plugin. I added
<depends>org.jetbrains.plugins.gradle</depends>
to my plugin.xml, but how do I access classes from that plugin (org.jetbrains.plugins.gradle.util.GradleConstants)?

Hi Stephen,
I also got stuck at the beginning for a long time.. I think I can answer some of your questions.
1. If you follow the "create a plugin project" tutorial, you do not need to create a separate module because the wizard already create the module for you. Namely, the module is your plugin that you are working at.
2. Make sure your "IDEA jdk" is a "JDK" instead of a "Platform SDK".
All this is not required when you want to develop a plugin and the documentation is confusing and out of date. There was already a long thread about this and you might want to check out my answer there.
Cheers
Patrick
Thanks for the answers! I got my little plugin up and running!
