IdeaProject

API Documentation:IdeaProject

Enables fine-tuning project details (*.ipr file) of the IDEA plugin.

Example of use with a blend of all possible properties. Typically you don't have to configure IDEA module directly because Gradle configures it for you.

import org.gradle.plugins.ide.idea.model.*

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'idea'

idea {
  project {
    //if you want to set specific jdk and language level
    jdkName = '1.6'
    languageLevel = '1.5'

    //you can update the source wildcards
    wildcards += '!?*.ruby'

    //you can configure the VCS used by the project
    vcs = 'Git'

    //you can change the modules of the *.ipr
    //modules = project(':someProject').idea.module

    //you can change the output file
    outputFile = new File(outputFile.parentFile, 'someBetterName.ipr')

    //you can add project-level libraries
    projectLibraries << new ProjectLibrary(name: "my-library", classes: [new File("path/to/library")])
  }
}

For tackling edge cases users can perform advanced configuration on resulting XML file. It is also possible to affect the way IDEA plugin merges the existing configuration via beforeMerged and whenMerged closures.

beforeMerged and whenMerged closures receive Project object

Examples of advanced configuration:

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'idea'

idea {
  project {
    ipr {
      //you can tinker with the output *.ipr file before it's written out
      withXml {
        def node = it.asNode()
        node.appendNode('iLove', 'tinkering with the output *.ipr file!')
      }

      //closure executed after *.ipr content is loaded from existing file
      //but before gradle build information is merged
      beforeMerged { project ->
        //you can tinker with Project
      }

      //closure executed after *.ipr content is loaded from existing file
      //and after gradle build information is merged
      whenMerged { project ->
        //you can tinker with Project
      }
    }
  }
}

Property details

String jdkName

The java version used for defining the project sdk.

See the examples in the docs for IdeaProject

Default with idea plugin:
Java version used to run Gradle, for example '1.6'
Default with idea and java plugin:
Java version used to run Gradle, for example '1.6'

IdeaLanguageLevel languageLevel

The default Java language Level to use for this project.

Generally, it isn't recommended to change this value. Instead, you are encouraged to set sourceCompatibility and targetCompatibility for your Gradle projects which allows you to have full control over language levels in Gradle projects, and means that Gradle and IDEA will use the same settings when compiling.

When not explicitly set, this is calculated as the maximum language level for the Idea modules of this Idea project.

Default with idea plugin:
JavaVersion.JAVA_1_6
Default with idea and java plugin:
project.sourceCompatibility

List<IdeaModule> modules

Modules for the ipr file.

See the examples in the docs for IdeaProject

Default with idea plugin:
project.allprojects.idea.module

File outputFile

Output *.ipr

See the examples in the docs for IdeaProject.

Default with idea plugin:
${project.projectDir}/${project.name}.ipr

Set<ProjectLibrary> projectLibraries

The project-level libraries to be added to the IDEA project.

Default with idea plugin:
[] ([scala-library] with scala-base plugin)
Default with idea and java plugin:
[] ([scala-library] with scala-base plugin)

JavaVersion targetBytecodeVersion

The target bytecode version to use for this project.

Generally, it isn't recommended to change this value. Instead, you are encouraged to set sourceCompatibility and targetCompatibility for your Gradle projects which allows you to have full control over language levels in Gradle projects, and means that Gradle and IDEA will use the same settings when compiling.

When languageLevel is not explicitly set, this is calculated as the maximum target bytecode version for the Idea modules of this Idea project.

Default with idea plugin:
JavaVersion.JAVA_1_6
Default with idea and java plugin:
Highest project.targetCompatibility value of all java subprojects or JavaVersion.JAVA_1_6 if no java project found.

String vcs

The vcs for the project.

Values are the same as used in IDEA's “Version Control” preference window (e.g. 'Git', 'Subversion').

See the examples in the docs for IdeaProject.

Set<String> wildcards

The wildcard resource patterns.

See the examples in the docs for IdeaProject.

Default with idea plugin:
['!?*.java', '!?*.groovy']
