Setup IntelliJ IDEA Platform Plugin SDK on Mac

I'm trying to start implementing a plugin for IntelliJ IDEA. For that reason I have to setup IntelliJ Platform Plugin SDK.

The official guide shows how it is done on Windows, but on Mac I don't have "installation folder of IntelliJ IDEA". It is simply an .app file among other applications.

Q: What path should I specify as the home directory for the Platform Plugin SDK?

Solution

  • "installation folder of IntelliJ IDEA" on Mac is the application bundle directory (the *.app file). So, specify path to the installed IntelliJ IDEA .app directory as IntelliJ Platform Plugin SDK.
