How to Build plugin

Use gradle intellij:buildPlugin command.

How to Debug

For non-console-friendly people - the easiest way i found is through IDEA gradle toolbar.

Tasks -> intellij -> runIdea.

Right mouse button click -> Debug.

Example configuration

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven { url 'http://dl.bintray.com/jetbrains/intellij-plugin-service' }
    }
}

plugins {
    id "org.jetbrains.intellij" version "0.1.10"
}

apply plugin: 'idea'
apply plugin: 'org.jetbrains.intellij'
apply plugin: 'java'

sourceSets {
    main {
        java.srcDir 'src/main/java'
        resources.srcDir 'src/main/resources'
    }
    test {
        java.srcDir 'src/test/java'
    }
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compile('com.github.docker-java:docker-java:3.0.3') {
                exclude group: 'commons-logging'
                exclude group: 'org.slf4j'
            }
    compile group: 'org.codehaus.jackson', name: 'jackson-core-asl', version: '1.9.13'
}

intellij {
    version '163.7743.44'
    plugins 'coverage'
}

test {
    exclude 'com/something/**'
}
