Result

There are 2 ways how the Plug-in's content will be organized.

• single jar : The plug-in consists of one '.jar' file with no external dependencies. The archive contains the configuration file ( META-INF/plugin.xml ).
  Example :
  

  IDEA_HOME/Plugins/
                    Sample.jar/
                              com/foo/.....
                              ...
                              ...
                              META-INF
                                     plugin.xml
                      

• mulitple jar : Plug-in has external dependencies. All plug-in files are located in a jar-file which is placed to the lib folder (with external dependencies). the root folder is named with the artifact ID.
  Example :
  

  IDEA_HOME/Plugins/
                   Sample/lib/
                            libFoo.java
                            libBar.java
                            Sample.jar/
                                      com/foo/.....
                                      ...
                                      ...
                                      META-INF
                                             plugin.xml
