Custom plugin override Import

Hello,

I have C++ project defined through files named "Project.xml" (always the same name). I have developed java code to create a CMakeLists file from those these.

In a plugin, I would like to override the default Import feature to behave like this:

if the selected import target is a file named "Project.xml" :

run a custom feature to create the CMakeLists file
import the project from the created CMakeLists file
call a custom method with the created project as parameter to persist some values at project level

otherwise let CLion process his default import project feature

Is this possible, where to start?

The plugin targes only CLion if that has an impact.

If anyone interested here is the procedure:

Create a class inheriting ProjectOpenProcessor


public class MyProjectOpenProcessor extends ProjectOpenProcessor {

    private static final Icon myIcon = CommonsIcons.BMS_ICON_SMALL;

    @NotNull
    @Override
   public String getName() {
       return "MyProject";
   }

    @Override 
    public Icon getIcon() {
        return myIcon;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean canOpenProject(VirtualFile virtualFile) {
        return virtualFile != null && virtualFile.isValid() && virtualFile.getName().equals("MyProject.xml");
    }

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public Project doOpenProject(@NotNull VirtualFile virtualFile, @Nullable Project project, boolean b) {
        if(createOrUpdateCMakeListsFile(virtualFile){
            return importProjectFromCMakeLists(virtualFile);
        }

        return null;
    }

    private boolean createOrUpdateCMakeListsFile(@NotNull VirtualFile virtualFile) {
        ....
    }

    private Project importProjectFromCMakeLists(@NotNull VirtualFile virtualFile) {
        \\identify the cMakeListsFile
        VirtualFile cMakeListsFile = virtualFile.getParent().getChildren()where......;

        ProjectOpenProcessor processor = PlatformProjectOpenProcessor.getInstance();
        Project newProject = null;

        if(cMakeListsFile != null && processor!= null){
            newProject = processor.doOpenProject(cMakeListsFile, null, true);
        }

        return newProject;
    }
}

Add the following to plugin.xml

<extensions defaultExtensionNs="com.intellij">
    <projectOpenProcessor implementation="com.amadeus.bms.plugin.clion.import_wizard.BmsProjectOpenProcessor"/>
</extensions>
