JetBrains/intellij-platform-plugin-template

This system is a scaffolded template for developing IntelliJ Platform plugins, providing a foundational Gradle-based project structure. It includes sample implementations of core plugin components, such as a project-scoped service, a startup activity, and a tool window with dynamic UI interactions. The template also establishes conventions for localization, testing, and build configuration to accelerate the creation of new plugin projects.

A new \MyProjectActivity\ class has been added to the plugin's startup module. This sample code demonstrates how to implement a \ProjectActivity\ to execute logic when a project is opened, currently logging a warning to remind developers to remove the sample code and its corresponding registration entries from \plugin.xml\ when no longer needed.

The application now includes localized string resources for displaying project service information, random number labels, and shuffle actions, enabling these features to present text to users in a configurable manner.

Adds the MyToolWindowFactory which registers a new tool window for the plugin. The window displays a label and a button; clicking the button updates the label text by fetching a random number from MyProjectService and formatting it using the MyBundle resource bundle.

The repository is initialized as the IntelliJ Platform Plugin Template, providing a complete starting point for plugin development. This includes a comprehensive README with setup instructions, a CHANGELOG for tracking updates, a CODE\_OF\_CONDUCT, and an Apache 2.0 LICENSE. The build system is configured with Gradle wrapper scripts (gradlew, gradlew.bat) and a .gitignore to exclude build artifacts and IDE files, establishing the foundational structure for creating new plugin projects.

A new project-scoped service, MyProjectService, has been added to the plugin. Upon project initialization, it logs the project name and issues a warning reminding developers to remove sample code and its corresponding registration entries from plugin.xml. The service also provides a getRandomNumber() utility method that returns a random integer between 1 and 100.

The MyBundle utility class now supports Kotlin's operator overloading, allowing resource strings to be accessed directly using bracket notation (e.g., MyBundle\["key"\]) in addition to the existing explicit message() and messagePointer() methods. This change simplifies string retrieval in Kotlin code by enabling a more idiomatic syntax while maintaining backward compatibility with the standard function calls.

Added a new test class, MyPluginTest, which validates core plugin functionality by verifying XML file parsing integrity, testing the rename refactoring capability on XML files, and ensuring the MyProjectService generates distinct random numbers on each call.

This entry introduces the initial scaffold for the IntelliJ Platform Plugin Template, providing a ready-to-use Gradle-based project structure for developing IntelliJ plugins. The setup configures the build to use Kotlin 2.4.20 and the IntelliJ Platform Gradle Plugin 2.19.0, targeting IntelliJ IDEA version 2025.3.6.1. It includes pre-configured dependencies for the IntelliJ Platform and JUnit 4.13.2 for testing, while explicitly opting out of bundling the Kotlin standard library to reduce plugin size. The template also enables Gradle's Configuration Cache and Build Cache for improved build performance and includes a Foojay toolchain resolver convention to simplify JDK management.

The project's Gradle wrapper has been updated to version 9.8.0, switching the distribution type to the binary-only package (-bin.zip). This change ensures that builds use the specified Gradle version and may improve IDE integration and IntelliSense support by utilizing the binary distribution.
