Tips for plugin writers

I'm finding that writing plugins is a painfully slow process . Starting and stopping my IDE is a big time pain. Two questions:

  • Is there a way to load a plugin without restarting IDEA?

  • Is there a way to attach a debugger so I can step through my code?

No, but maybe Jacques could inform us all on how to use mock testing.

  • Is there a way to attach a debugger so I can step through my code?

Yes, see http://www.intellij.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/PluginTesting
