Hi,
Tool windows should be implemented in Swing, but you can use Platform components described under the User Interface Components section.
There is no A-Z tutorial for your exact use case in our resources. You can see the basics here:
I suggest checking how similar existing tool windows are implemented by using UI Inspector.
You can also find more complex open-source example implementations on IntelliJ Platform Explorer.
Thank you for your reactivity. I have already visited all those links so I will use UI Inspector.
