The plugin.xml configuration file contains all the information about the plugin, which is displayed in the plugins' settings dialog, and all registered extensions, actions, listeners, etc. The sections below describe all the elements in detail.
The example plugin.xml files can be found in the IntelliJ SDK Docs Code Samples repository.
Additional Plugin Configuration FilesA plugin can contain additional configuration files beside the main plugin.xml. They have the same format, and they are included with the config-file
attribute of <depends>
elements specifying plugin dependencies. However, some elements and attributes required in plugin.xml are ignored in additional configuration files. If the requirements differ, the documentation below will state it explicitly. One use case for additional configuration files is when a plugin provides optional features that are only available in some IDEs and require certain modules.
Please make sure to follow the guidelines from Best practices for listing your plugin for an optimal presentation of your plugin on JetBrains Marketplace. The Busy Plugin Developers. Episode 2 discusses 5 tips for optimizing JetBrains Marketplace plugin page in more detail.

or qualifiedName
attributes.
An extension element attributes depend on the extension point implementation, but all extensions support basic attributes: id
, order
, and os
.
Extensions' declaration with a default namespace:

, the fully qualified name of the EP will be com.example.myplugin.myExtension
.
Only one of the name
and qualifiedName
attributes can be specified.
qualifiedName

(interface
or beanClass
is required)

The bean class specifies one or several properties annotated with the @Attribute
annotation. Note that bean classes do not follow the JavaBean standard. Implement PluginAware
to obtain information about the plugin providing the actual extension (see Error Handling).
Only one of the interface
and beanClass
attributes can be specified.
dynamic
(optional)
Boolean value defining whether the extension point meets the requirements to be dynamic, which is a prerequisite for dynamic plugins.
Default value: false
.

When using the above extension point, an implementation could be registered as follows:
<myExtension ... myClass="com.example.MyCustomType"> <someClass>com.example.MyComparable</someClass> </myExtension>
where:
com.example.MyCustomType
must be a subtype of com.example.ParentType
com.example.MyComparable
