IDEA has many plugins to use. I.e. IDEtalk is one of them which I use. How can I code a simple plugin that just connects to Internet and shows a web page? (no need for an address bar but it is not a problem to be). I want my plugin's shortcut's button locate at my IDE as like IDEtalk, Commander, Maven Projects etc.

Any ideas?

Check the documentation and the source code of the other plug-ins available in the public git repository of the Community Edition.

  • thanks. However can thar plugins locate as a button at Intellij IDEA window?(maybe they are not called as plugin) – kamaci Oct 21 '11 at 07:01
  • Yes, plug-ins can have their own tool window buttons and open panels, check the source code of the existing plug-ins to see how it works. – CrazyCoder Oct 21 '11 at 07:51
  • Looks like "public git repository" do not contain source code anymore. "List all projects" is an empty page. Has it moved to somewhere else? – DanielaWaranie May 13 '15 at 04:38

There is a Creating Your First Plugin guide on JetBrains web site. It covers all the needed steps from plugin creation to deployment to the plugin repository.

You might also want take a look in the source code of a simple plugin like Twitter Integration Plugin which I recently implemented. Or check a more complex one like this one.
