Internal frame and lightbulb

Hi Marios,

1 + 2. They are called ToolWindows.
You probably have already downloaded IDEA's plugin development package (It's a separate download called for example idea6733-dev.zip). In the examples folder of it you'll find a toolwindow folder that contains a simple example that shows how to create a ToolWindow. The button is created automatically for a ToolWindow.

Thanks a lot. That was really helpful. Exactly what I was looking for.

May be this will help:

Check screenshots, if thats what you are looking for, get sources

Lightbulb in IDEA called intention (org.dubik.tasks.intention,
intention/ packages)
For window check TasksProjectComponent class, projectOpened() method.

Hello,

I am currently working on a plugin and I have a couple of questions to ask.

1.How can I create an internal frame in IDEA, like the one of the debugger or the TODO window?

2. How can I create the respective button of the window mentioned above?

3.How can I insert a lightbulb, which will accompany a custom suggestion, next to my source code?

Any help or advice will be appreciated.

Thank you,
