I have a plugin defined in my build.gradle like this:
plugins {
id "org.jetbrains.intellij" version "0.2.9"
}
And I want to be able to resolve the sources for the plugin.
Obviously it would be nice if it could happen automatically, but attaching the sources manually is fine at this point. The problem is that there is no reference to the JAR for this plugin anywhere in any setting I could find.

I have an IntelliJ plugin, which was created from the github-template, that cannot resolve the class com.intellij.psi.PsiJavaFile.
Has anyone else run into this and figured out what needs to be configured?
I'm new to IntelliJ plugin development. I followed the instructions detailed at https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intellij/github-template.html to create a plugin.
I imported the generated plugin into IntelliJ and everything seems OK. No compile warnings, etc..., but when I try to use the class com.intellij.psi.PsiJavaFile, IntelliJ says it cannot resolve the class.
I imagine I'm missing a configuration somewhere that tells IntelliJ which libraries to import, but I'm not finding it in the documentation.
You're probably missing the dependency on the Java intellij plugin, which is not enabled by default as you won't need it for every custom plugin.
Add com.intellij.java to the platformPlugins section of the gradle.properties file:
# Plugin Dependencies -> https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intellij/plugin-dependencies.html
# Example: platformPlugins = com.intellij.java, com.jetbrains.php:203.4449.22
platformPlugins = com.intellij.java
To address that the IDE cannot resolve PsiJavaClass specifically, I don't think it exists. Are you looking for PsiJavaFile or PsiClass?
When writing Gradle scripts for my Java project, specifically, when writing build.gradle files, IntelliJ does not recognize the Gradle API.
For instance, Gradle methods calls like apply, dependencies configure appear with a black line under them and it is not possible to navigate to method declarations, there is no auto-completion etc.
I managed to work around this by adding compile gradleApi() to the build's dependencies block. However, I don't want to have this explicit dependency in my code.
I tried editing IntelliJ's project structure and add a dependency on a Gradle library (tried gradle-core and gradle-all) to my modules, but that seems to have no effect.
Is there a way to make IntelliJ associate all build.gradle files with the Gadle sources?
I solved this problem as follows:
As mention in already posted answers, configure gradle
update gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties file
change bin to all in distributionUrl i.e.
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.8.3-bin.zip
to
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.8.3-all.zip
OR
[optional] If you are using old version of gradle wrapper and wanted to upgrade, then execute
./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version 6.8.3 --distribution-type all
Update gradle task (if present in build file)
wrapper {
gradleVersion = '6.8.3'
distributionType = Wrapper.DistributionType.ALL
}
Before importing the project to IntelliJ-Idea IDE, update build.gradle and add java and idea plugin to the plugins list
plugins {
id "java-library"
id "idea"
}
From a terminal, execute ./gradlew clean build idea or simply ./gradlew idea
Import project to IntelliJ idea.
Go to Preferences --> build,Execution,Deployment --> BuildTools --> Gradle
You can see
Restart IntelliJ idea IDE.
So above we have configured both of the options so choose either of them, except the specified location option. That's it.

After
Autocomplete functionality as mentioned in this answer.
I had similar frustrations with Grails 3, which defines and runs a wrapper task when an app is created. Changing to the "all" zip in the wrapper properties file did not work because this kept getting changed back to the "bin" zip.
This was solved when it was understood that the "gradle-wrapper.properties" file simply stores the values from the "wrapper" task, and if this task is run after the properties are changed, they get changed right back.
This is easily fixed by setting some properties on the wrapper task:
wrapper.gradleVersion='3.2.1'
wrapper.distributionType=Wrapper.DistributionType.ALL
Now importing the project into IDEA gives you smart editing of your build.gradle.
when I choose build.gradle in IDEA and open it, IDE prompts
You can configure Gradle wrapper to use distribution with sources. It will provide IDE with Gradle API/DSL documentation.
I choose Ok, apply suggestion!
after project refreshing I am able to use code completion
before you import your project, configure it to use the customizable gradle wrapper as per the instructions here :-
https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/gradle_wrapper.html
add a task to your top level project like this:-
task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
println "Wrapper gradleVersion = '2.12'"
gradleVersion = '2.12'
}
or whatever the latest version is.
make sure you can build the project from the gradle command line before you try importing into intelliJ, using the ./gradlew command, which will download and install a gradle distribution for you the first time you build.
set your java home, intelliJ home and gradle home variables in your machine and in intelliJ (mine look like this, yours may be different depending on your setup and your history of hacking around your machine...:-
(from .bashrc
export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home
)
When you do import, choose the customisable gradle wrapper. if all is well, when you open the top level build.gradle for your project, you will be asked to configure sources for the gradle dsl, which will also update your gradle wrapper properties file to this:-
#Thu Mar 31 14:04:00 BST 2016
distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.12-all.zip
.. the change being from ... bin.zip to all.zip. and that's it. This had been giving me lots of grief for a long time, but that's the way to do it. (on IntelliJ IDEA 2016.1 CE at least...)
most of this was in
Dimitry's answer too, but I couldn't get it to work using the default wrapper , it had to be the customisable wrapper.
I am developing an idea plugin, and it is an intellij idea project.
I want to use gradle to manage the dependency.
How to config?
There is now a Gradle plugin for building IntelliJ Platform Plugins. In order to use it, you will need to add the following snippet to your build.gradle file.
plugins {
id "org.jetbrains.intellij" version "0.0.31"
}
apply plugin: 'org.jetbrains.intellij'
For more information, please see this guide to help you get started.
Ok, there are multiple ways to create an IntelliJ project, "templates" if you like, and unfortunately you can only pick one of them (IntelliJ plugin or gradle).
Thankfully, it's easy to configure a project for gradle in IntelliJ.
First, create a new project from the IntelliJ Platform Plugin template. You don't need to choose any Additional Libraries and Frameworks. This will give you a project structure including META-INF/plugin.xml and the Project SDK should be something like IDEA IU-129.451.
From here, simply create a new file named build.gradle at the top level of your project, including for example this line:
apply plugin: 'java'
Now, close the project. You can now use File -> Import Project..., choose the build.gradle file that you just created, and import the project. Accept the defaults for importing and hit OK.
The project is now opened with both gradle and intellij plugin enabled!
Notice that the source root src has disappeared and you will need to right click on src in the Project pane and select Mark Directory As -> Source Root.
To prepare the plugin for deployment, there is still the menu option in the Build menu for that - if you want to automate that part via gradle, good luck and please let us know how it's done ;)
I am developing a plugin for IntelliJ IDEA. The way I am going about this is by creating a plugin project in IDEA, then packaging this into a jar with appropriate META-INF/plugin.xml, and installing the plugin from the jar.
The problem is that I would like to add a dependency on org.scala-lang:scala-library:2.11.0. I have this specified as a library dependency in the IDEA project, but this information never seems to get passed along to the generated JAR.
How can I include this information in such a way that IntelliJ IDEA will recognize it?
As far as I understand, you want to bundle some library (e.g. scala library) with your plugin.
This is pretty simple.
Go to Project Settings, select module and go to Dependencies tab. Set scope for the library you want to bundle to 'Compile'. In this example it is 'checker-framework' library. 'groovy-2.3.6' library will not be bundled due to its scope set to 'Provided'. Save changes.
Prepare plugin for deployment
Then you got plugin, zipped, ready for deployment (uploading to repo or installing locally) in the root of project. It will contain lib folder with all necessary jars.
The officially supported plugin dependency management solution is to use Gradle with the gradle-intellij-plugin, via Gradle's dependencies or the intellij.plugins entry points. If you want to add a dependency on an artifact (ex. hosted on Maven Central), then configure dependencies just as you normally would in a Gradle based project:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
}
dependencies {
compile("org.scala-lang:scala-library:2.11.0")
}
The intellij.plugins entry point will add an artifact in the current project, as well as a <depends> tag to your plugin.xml file. To install an external plugin alongside your own, for example if you are using the Plugin Extensions feature (suppose the plugin is hosted on the JetBrains Plugin Repository), use the following snippet:
plugins {
id "org.jetbrains.intellij" version "0.2.13"
}
intellij {
//...
plugins "org.intellij.scala:2017.2.638"
}
Is there a simple way to attach sources to auto-generated Gradle-based dependencies with IntelliJ IDEA 13.0 that won't be erased on next Gradle refresh?
For example, my build.gradle has such entry:
project(":projectName") {
dependencies {
compile files("c:/Program Files (x86)/groovy-2.2.1/embeddable/groovy-all-2.2.1.jar")
// more stuff here
}
}
Thus when I click Refresh all Gradle projects
I get a nice dependency set looking like so:
but there are no sources attached and if I do attach them manually, on next refresh they are erased.
I have sources for many different libraries, sometimes in jar file, sometimes directly in the file system (e.g. my groovy install has sources in c:\Program Files (x86)\groovy-2.2.1\src\).
Some of the dependencies I use can be downloaded from maven central repo, but in my build.gradle all the dependencies are configured to be taken from my local file system.
Thanks!

The only easy solution is to get the dependencies straight from a Maven repository (either Maven Central or an inhouse repository). If that's not an option for you, you'll have to configure sources via a hook such as idea.module.iml.withXml or idea.module.iml.whenMerged (after applying the idea plugin to allprojects). You can find details on these APIs in the Gradle Build Language Reference and the Gradle User Guide.
