IntelliJ Plugin Template is a repository that provides a pure boilerplate for creating a plugin project with ease
|
|
|
|
|
designed as a GitHub template repository (check the [Creating a repository from a template][gh-template] article).
|
|
|
|
|
The main goal for this Template is to speed up the setup phase of the plugin development for the new as well as existing
|
|
|
|
|
developers by preconfiguring the project scaffold, CI and linking to the proper documentation pages as well as keeping
|
|
|
|
|
everything in the most straightforward manner.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We can detail here the following parts:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Gradle configuration
|
|
|
|
|
- Sample code:
|
|
|
|
|
- listeners - project and dynamic plugin lifecycle
|
|
|
|
|
- services - project- and application-related services
|
|
|
|
|
- actions - basic action with shortcut binding
|
|
|
|
|
- Plugin Manifest file
|
|
|
|
|
- README Template
|
|
|
|
|
- CI based on GitHub actions
|
|
|
|
|
- Release and changelog maintenance flow

### Changelog
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When delivering a new release, it is essential to let your audience know what the updated version offering is.
|
|
|
|
|
The best way of handling that is to attach the changelog.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The changelog is a curated list containing information of any new features, fixes, deprecations.
|
|
|
|
|
If provided, such list would be available in a couple of places: [CHANGELOG.md](./CHANGELOG.md) file,
|
|
|
|
|
[Releases page][releases], [What's new][marketplace-plugin-page] section in Marketplace's Plugin page
|
|
|
|
|
and inside of the Plugin Manager's item details.
|
|
|
|
|
There are many different methods of handling the project's changelog. One of them, used in the current template project,
|
|
|
|
|
is the [Keep a Changelog][keep-a-changelog] approach.
