For new projects, it is highly recommended to use Maven.

This section explains how you can create a new plugin project from scratch using the New Project wizard. Optionally, you can import an existing project or import a project from external models. You can also add a new plugin module to a current Consulo project. For more information, refer to the Consulo documentation.

To Create an Consulo Plugin Project:

• On the main menu, choose File | New | Project. The New Project wizard starts.
• Set Consulo Plugin project type.
• Click Next.
• Set the desired project name.
• Click Finish to generate project structure files.
• Go to File | Project Structure to customize project settings if required.

To Create an Consulo Plugin Module

• Select File | New | Module and choose the Consulo Plugin module type
  
  
• Enter your desired plugin name.
• Go to File | Project Structure and select the newly created Consulo SDK as the default SDK for the plugin module:

Adding Code to the Project

Before running the new project, add some code to provide simple functionality. See the Creating Actions tutorial for step-by-step instructions for adding a menu action.
