How to install plugin? Follow
I downloaded the xdoclet2 plugin and opcied it to my intellij istall folder. When I open up IntelliJ, I don't see it in the list of plugins.
How can I get IntelliJ to recognize that he plugin is there so I can activate it?

You need to place the plugin jar file (or the plugin directory) into /.IntelliJIdea90/config/plugins directory and restart IDEA.

Hi there -
Yep, OK.. so I put it in:
C:\program files\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA 9.0.3\plugins
Restarted IntelliJ, and still, it doesn't appear.
Should it be recognizing it automatically?
Thanks,
John
I also put it in C:\Documents and Settings\myuser\.IntelliJIdea90\config\plugins
and it didnt see it either....
The 'plugins' folder under IntelliJ IDEA 9.0.3 directory is used only for build-in plugins. In order to install a third-party plugin you need to copy
it to C:\Documents and Settings\username\.IntelliJIdea90\config\plugins directory.

Hi Nikolay:
I have the plugin at: C:\Documents and Settings\john\.IntelliJIdea90\config\plugins\xdoclet-plugins-dist-1.0.4\lib
I have also tried:
C:\Documents and Settings\john\.IntelliJIdea90\config\plugins\xdoclet-plugins-dist-1.0.4\
and
C:\Documents and Settings\john\.IntelliJIdea90\config\plugins\
but none of them get IntelliJ to recognize them..
What else can I do?
John
Did you change idea.plugins.path in /bin/idea.properties file? Does the plugin jar contain META-INF/plugin.xml file? Are there any
exceptions in C:\Documents and Settings\john\.IntelliJIdea90\system\log\idea.log file?

Hi Nikolay:
There's a lib folder that contains a ton of .jar files such as:
xdoclet-plugin-plugin-1.0.4.jar
xdoclet-plugin-spring-1.0.4.jar
etc...
This is the xdoclet plugin, and it's currently in C:\Documents and Settings\john\.IntelliJIdea90\config\plugins\xdoclet-plugins-dist-1.0.4\lib
There is a file called availables.xml in This is the xdoclet plugin, and it's currently in C:\Documents and Settings\john\.IntelliJIdea90\config\plugins\
There is no META-INF/plugin.xml file.
I have not changed anything in /bin/idea.properties:
# path to user installed plugins folder. Make sure you're using forward slashes
idea.plugins.path=${user.home}/.IntelliJIdea90/config/plugins
Are there any exceptions in C:\Documents and Settings\john\.IntelliJIdea90\system\log\idea.log file when you start IDEA?

No.... none.
I wonder if anyone has installed the xdoclet plugin, or if there is anything else I can try...
