How to install plugin? Follow

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

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?

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...
