intellijcoder

IntelliJ IDEA plugin for TopCoder

Installation

Just like any other IntelliJ IDEA plugin:

• Windows: File -> Settings -> Plugins -> Browse repositories... -> IntelliJCoder -> Download and install
• Mac OS: IntelliJ IDEA -> Preferences -> Plugins -> Browse repositories... -> IntelliJCoder -> Download and install

Usage

• Create new or open existing project in IntelliJ IDEA
• Press TopCoder button on the main toolbar to launch Arena applet (please note, that the main toolbar is hidden by default, Click View -> Toolbar to enable it)
• Login to Arena, then select a contest and open a problem
• IntelliJCoder will automatically create a new module with a solution stub and a test class and run tests
• After you finished editing your code, use Compile and Sumbit buttons in Arena to submit your code to TopCoder servers
• Thanks to the contributors you can now setup your favorite imports and method templates in Settings:
  • Windows: File -> Settings -> IntelliJCoder
  • Mac OS: IntelliJ IDEA -> Preferences -> IntelliJCoder

Support

New features are developed by contributors now (thanks a lot to all of them). I don't actively develop this project - only critical bug fixes. However, contributions are always welcome. I'll do my best to merge your changes and deploy a new version to JetBrains website.

How to build (for contributors)

• Check out project

  git clone https://github.com/fadeyev/intellijcoder.git
  

• Repository contains .idea project files, so just open the project in IDEA: File -> Open

• Configure the project:

  • Open project settings: File -> Project Structure (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S)
  • Set up IntelliJ IDEA Plugin SDK: Project -> Project SDK -> New... ->IntelliJ Platform Plugin SDK -> <Pick your IDEA directory> -> OK
  • Set this SDK as SDK for modules: Modules -> intellijcoder -> Dependencies -> Module SDK -> <Pick your SDK here> Modules -> intellijcoder-idea -> Dependencies -> Module SDK -> <Pick your SDK here>
  • You also need to set up IDEA Junit plugin library location, since IntelliJCoder depends on it: Libraries -> JUnit IDEA Plugin -> <If idea-junit.jar location is incorrect, please set up the correct one>
  • Check that there are no errors at the bottom of the dialog. Press OK to close Project Settings.

• To be able to debug the plugin you may want to check out fresh IntelliJ IDEA sources: http://www.jetbrains.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=983225

  git clone https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community.git
  

  and then attach them to IntelliJ IDEA Plugin SDK: File -> Project Structure -> SDKs -> IDEA IC-*** -> Sourcepath -> Add -> <Point to the checked out folder>
