System Settings

System settings

Allow you to store configuration for plugin.

They can be found / entered in File -> Settings -> Other Settings menu.

Implementation

Form

First you need to create form using IDEA's designer:

And implement getters/setters inside corresponding code class to get proper mapping of form fields.

*Configuration

This class would contain mostly storage information:

• location where to store
• implementation of load / save
• mapping of IDE properties to file properties

*Configurable

This class contains logic for form update, to be able to:

• reset form
• update with values from file
• validate that configuration values were changed

NOTE: be sure to include all form elements inside isModified class, otherwise the form will not be updated, or you will not simply click button Apply.
