Usage

First, you have to provide a path for vcpkg executable.

Then you can manage your project packages: add or remove, using + and - buttons in the bottom of window.

You can search for dependency if you don't know its exact name. It is the wrapper around vcpkg search command.

Building

Note: IntelliJ Swing GUI designer was used to generate forms, so this project can compile stably only in IntelliJ IDEA

In IntelliJ IDEA make sure you have an option Build and run using in the section Build, Execution, Deployment > Build Tools > Gradle set to IntelliJ IDEA, not Gradle.

For some reason, Gradle doesn't know, how to generate forms from UI designer.

Possible improvements

• Run package installation in the background (as it is implemented in IntelliJ platform IDEs)
• Select project root different from vcpkg installation (this feature is in beta in vcpkg itself)
