IDE Development Instance

Edit pageLast modified: 15 January 2025

A plugin project can be run or debugged from within the development instance of IntelliJ IDEA. Selecting the runIde task for a Gradle-based project (or Run menu for a Plugin DevKit-based project) will launch a Development Instance of the target IDE with the current development version of the plugin enabled.

This page describes how to control some settings for the Development Instance.
