Creating an MPS language Idea-Plugin with Actions/KeyMaps/...

Hi,

my language has a plugin facet which defines actions, action groups, key maps, and so on. However I cannot build the language as an idea plugin because while compiling (running the build script) I get the following errors: 

java.compile.DbUnitDsl:
    [mkdir] Created dir: C:\MPS-Projects\db-testdata-dsl7\build\tmp\db-testdata-dsl\java\out\DbUnitDsl
    [javac] Compiling 211 source files to C:\MPS-Projects\db-testdata-dsl7\build\tmp\db-testdata-dsl\java\out\DbUnitDsl

...


Is there any way to make actions, key maps etc. available for Idea?

Hi, Yann,

Actions are included into IDEA differently that into MPS, so you have to write a specific IDEA integration solution for them. To use your actions in IDEA and MPS you can split your code into 3 parts:
  1. actions common for MPS and IDEA;
  2. action groups and keymaps for MPS; this solution can not be packaged in plugin for IDEA;
  3. action groups and keymaps for IDEA; only packaged into IDEA plugin.

For the latter, create IdeaActionDescriptor and add groups and keymaps there (see how it's done in a model jetbrains.ide.platform.actions, node PlatformActions). Instead of ordinary action groups, create "plugin.xml" action groups (set "register via plugin.xml: true" in action group inspector). Same for keymaps. IdeaActionDescriptor generates an xml which you can include into plugin.xml file of your idea plugin.
