AEM Tooling for IntelliJ IDE Plugin

End of Life Notice

Due to constant change in IntelliJ which broke backwards compatibility we were faced with too much of a burden on the maintenance of this open-source project. We regret the decision to end the development of this plugin.

We suggest that you use another plugin like: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/9863-aem-support.

Requirements

This plugin requires to run IntelliJ IDEA 2016.2 or higher.

Releases:

Release of 1.0.3.5-beta is out. Check out in the release section.

Attention: in 1.0.3.5 we migrated from Plugin Components to Plugin Services which might make the plugin incompatible with older IDEA plugins. Please let us know if you encounter this so that we can update the documentation and might find a resolution for it.

Attention: due to changes inside IntelliJ APIs some stored data might be lost during the update. If your configuration is lost then just recreate it, if your modules are gone then just hit verify to rebuild them.

New Releases can be found in the Code -> Release section on GitHub: AEM Intellij Plugin

For Devs

The plugin has a dependency on the IntelliJ Maven and Git4Idea plugin (see META-INF/plugin.xml) and they have to be added to the IntelliJ SDK and not as a library. As of now do the following:

1. Open the Project Structure Dialog
2. Go down to the SDKs
3. Select your SDK which has to be an IntelliJ Community Editon SDK
4. Select Classpath on the right
5. Click the + sign at the bottom
6. Go to content/plugins and there add Git4Idea and Maven
   1. maven/lib/maven.jar
   2. maven/lib/maven-server-api.jar
   3. git4idea/lib/git4idea.jar

Attention: if you upgrade to a newer SDK you have to repeat these steps.

If this is added as a Library then one will encounter Class Cast Exception due to duplicate classes.

Current Branch:

The current development can be found under feature/'version' branch. The develop branch is the latest pre-released code. The master is the latest release code and it the same as the highest release/v'version' branch.

Updates:

1.0.3.5-beta

• Migrated the Plugin to work with IntelliJ Plugin services rather than components so that it works with the latest releases of IntelliJ.
• Updated to the latest Aemdc code base

1.0.3.4:

• A fix for the Import From User Action that fails because I cannot write from a User Action.
• An exception during code change from the Code Smell Detector is ignored if it is based on the 'cannot run under write action' failure. There is not fix in sight from JetBrains or help on how to make this work so for now it is just ignored.
• Upgraded the Tooling Support Bundle to version 1.0.4.

1.0.3.3:

• Working on issues with latest IntelliJ Releases.
• All threading is centralized in single class and with it fixed some issues with threading

1.0.3.2:

• Fixed an issue on Windows with Log4j's LocationAwareLogger.

1.0.3.1:

• Book keeping release

1.0.3:

• Fix an issue with Mac OS X High Sierra to load a class

1.0.2:

• Fixed a possible deadlock scenario when a Bundle is not deployed or has a symbolic name mismatch. Now the Dialog will show up after the Debug Connection is established.
• 'Import from' is now working correctly for .content.xml files (beforehand it was ignored).
• Support of the Sling Tooling Support Bundle version 1.0.5-SNAPSHOT which is required for Sling 9 and up. Also the Configuration allows the user to configure the selection of the support versions even though for most parts the latest should work just fine.
• Added a Configurable Bundle Deployment Retries and Wait Period so that a user can configure the deployment based on its connection speed to the server.

1.0.1:

• Fixed an issue where the module file (.iml) is not found by IntelliJ right after the project is created
