Simple IntelliJ plugin to help distribute plugins. Allows specifying plugin repos as well as pluginIds.
Specify distributionHelper.pluginFile in idea.properties to specify the json plugin file
Example plugin file
{
"pluginRepos": ["http://github.com/brian-mcnamara/pluginDownloader/pages/pluginUpdates.xml"],
"plugins": [
{
"id" : "net.bmac.intellij.distributionHelper",
"repo" : "http://github.com/brian-mcnamara/pluginDownloader/pages/pluginUpdates.xml",
"path" : "./releases/distributionHelper-1.0.zip"
}
]
}
Need to figure out a few issues.
Plugin ID, if the plugin ID does not match the id in the plugin, this could go into a reboot loop
Need to keep track of plugins installed. I want to allow new plugins to be added, but also want to allow people to uninstall them if they want (maybe?).
