Setting up IntelliJ IDEA CE for development
In order to work on this plugin, you must have (at minimum) the IntelliJ IDEA CE IDE downloaded. You should also have a valid version of PHPStorm downloaded so that you can reference the PHP library jars. If you have IntelliJ Ultimate you just need to enable the PHP plugin.
For official documentation, please see: https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/PhpStorm/Plugin+Development
- Follow http://www.jetbrains.org/intellij/sdk/docs/basics/getting_started/setting_up_environment.html
- Set PHPStorm as the platform SDK path (the plugin will then build as PHPStorm instead of just IntelliJ)
- Add the
drupal.jaras a class path to your SDK from PHPStorm (ex: PhpStorm.app/Contents/plugins/drupal/lib/drupal.jar)
- Create a "Plugin" run configuration.
