Getting the Project and finding files

I believe a similar problem occurred when people overwrote previous EAP's
with the current EAP, leaving two copies of the picocontainer jar. You should
make sure you haven't done this - that there's only one picocontainer jar
in lib\

If that's not the problem, I don't know enough to help you more.

Hi all,

I'm new to building IDEA plugins, so these may be stupid questsions...

• How do I get the Project for a ProjectComponent? I was copying a

pattern I saw in the HibernatePlugin where the ProjectComponent's
constructor took a Project object, but I'm getting:

com.opensymphony.ivyclasspath.IvyProjectComponent has unsatisfiable
dependencies: [[interface com.intellij.openapi.project.Project]]

org.picocontainer.defaults.UnsatisfiableDependenciesException:
com.opensymphony.ivyclasspath.IvyProjectComponent has unsatisfiable
dependencies: [[interface com.intellij.openapi.project.Project]]

What I want to do is (in my ProjectComponent):

1) Get the Project
2) Find a specific file under the project and read it

• How do I get the Module in my ModuleComponent?

then I've got a ModuleComponent which needs to get its Module and the
ProjectComponent created above so it can:

1) Get the file name it should look for inside this Module.
2) Load that file and read it to get a set of dependencies (a File[]
pointing to the jars required)
3) Add these jars to the classpath of the Module (which I haven't seen
how to do anywhere yet).

• How do I add jars to the libraries of a Module (or to the project or

global libraries)?

Any ideas for me? Just point me in the right direction...

I've installed each EAP in its own directory. Could this be related to the other 3316 bug I encountered where it couldn't find the tools.jar?

It could be, I don't know. I personally have a plugin that works for me using
public NullyProjectComponent(Project proj), so I don't know why it doesn't
work for you. Someone else should be able to help you, I don't know the answer.

I had the same problem because I originally copied the plugin.xml from
another project... make sure you've got the tag
<project-components>

and not something like

<application-components>

for your plugin component.

As for the rest, I just started on this stuff yesterday, and I've got a
loong way to go! But since I had the same problem, I thought I'd pass
that tidbit along. Of course, it could be something else altogether...
