To run or debug your plugin, you should create the corresponding Run/Debug configuration first.

To create a Run/Debug configuration for a plugin

  2. In the Run/Debug Configuration dialog, click add, or press Insert, and select Plugin.
  3. Specify the settings as necessary and click OK.
To run or debug a plugin

Depending on whether you are going to run or debug your plugin:

  • To run the plugin, select Run | Run from the main menu, or press Shift+F10.
  • To debug the plugin, select Run | Debug from the main menu, or press Shift+F9.

As a result, IntelliJ IDEA will start an instance of itself. This will be the instance in which your plugin will be available.
