Compose for IDE Plugin Development

This is an experimental plugin, enabling Intellij plugin development with Compose. For now, it only provides Compose runtime classes and native libraries, so they can be reused by different plugins.

Usage

The following steps assume gradle-intellij-plugin is used for Intellij plugin development:

1. Add Compose as compileOnly dependency to your plugin's dependencies.
2. Add the platform plugin's ID to intellij block in a Gradle script and to a plugin.xml.
3. Add kotlin.stdlib.default.dependency=false to gradle.properties.
4. Use runIde Gradle task to run a test IDE.

// build.gradle.kts

import org.jetbrains.compose.compose

plugins {
    id("org.jetbrains.intellij") version "1.3.0"
    id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm") version "1.6.10"
    id("org.jetbrains.compose") version "1.0.1"
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compileOnly(compose.desktop.currentOs)
}

// See https://github.com/JetBrains/gradle-intellij-plugin/
intellij {
    pluginName.set("Example plugin name")
    version.set("2021.3")
    plugins.set(listOf("org.jetbrains.compose.intellij.platform:0.1.0"))
}

<!-- src/main/resources/META-INF/plugin.xml -->
<idea-plugin>
    <id>com.jetbrains.ComposeDemoPlugin</id>
    <name>Jetpack Compose for Desktop Demo</name>
    <vendor>Demo Vendor</vendor>
