the id displayed in the sidebar while opening it (given in the following pic) is also getting removed

The id in the sidebar should retain.Is there a solution for this?Please advise

You should setup tool window component like this:

toolWindow.getComponent().putClientProperty(ToolWindowContentUi.HIDE_ID_LABEL, Boolean.TRUE);

Hi,

I have changed the code like this:-

@Override
public void createToolWindowContent(@NotNull Project project, @NotNull ToolWindow toolWindow) {
    this.toolWindow = toolWindow;
    this.project = project;
    ContentFactory contentFactory = ContentFactory.SERVICE.getInstance();
    Content content = contentFactory.createContent(windowContent, DEVICES_WINDOW_ID, false);
    toolWindow.getContentManager().addContent(content);
    toolWindow.getComponent().putClientProperty(ToolWindowContentUi.HIDE_ID_LABEL, Boolean.TRUE);
}



But still the toolwindow is showing its id.

Oh, sorry! This part of API is tricky and not friendly at all, sorry! Line order matters here and actually it works with String value "true", not Boolean value. Please rewrite your code like this:

@Override
public void createToolWindowContent(@NotNull Project project, @NotNull ToolWindow toolWindow) {
    this.toolWindow = toolWindow;
    this.project = project;
    ContentFactory contentFactory = ContentFactory.SERVICE.getInstance();
    Content content = contentFactory.createContent(windowContent, DEVICES_WINDOW_ID, false);
    toolWindow.getComponent.putClientProperty(ToolWindowContentUI.HIDE_ID_LABEL, "true");
    toolWindow.getContentManager().addContent(content);
}
