How to verify correct plugin installation manually
Hi there,
I created a basic plugin for internal use at my company. I want to verify that it works by installing manually and restarting IDEA. I am running on MacOSX, but other people will be using Windows and Linux. Where is the default plugin installation location? I tried ~/Library/Application Support/IntelliJIDEA60 and /Applications/IntelliJ IDEA 6.0.5.app/plugins and neither location seemed to find my plugin.
Also where are the IDEA logs stored on MacOSX? I cannot seem to find them.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Reggie,
the IDEA_HOME\bin\idea.properties file sets a few properties:
1 idea.config.path
2 idea.system.path
3 idea.plugins.path
which by default point to (a subfolder of) USER_HOME
the plugins go into the folder specified by : idea.plugins.path
And the logs are available under a subdir of : idea.system.path
Maybe the support system offers extra info; see (a.o.):

OK I found them. On MacOSX my locally installed plugins are located at ~/Library/Application Support/IntelliJIDEA60/. I unzipped my plugin into this directory. The log file was at ~/Library/Caches/IntelliJIDEA60/log/idea.log. I was able to look at the log and fix the issue with my plugin and things are now working great.
