Unofficial IntelliJ Platform plugin for Gerrit Code Review Tool. Only Gerrit 2.6 or newer is supported (missing / incomplete REST API in older versions).

You can install this plugin from the [IntelliJ Plugin Manager]. If you install this plugin directly in your IDE's plugin manager, you will get notified when a new release is available. [IntelliJ Plugin Manager]: http://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7272

If you have correctly set up a HTTP Password in Gerrit, but still have authentication issues, your Gerrit instance might be behind a HTTP Reverse Proxy (like Nginx or Apache) with enabled HTTP Authentication. You can identify that if you have to enter an username and password (browser password request) for opening the Gerrit web interface. Since this plugin uses Gerrit REST API (with authentication enabled), you need to tell your system administrator that he should disable HTTP Authentication for any request to /a path (e.g. https://git.example.com/a). For these requests HTTP Authentication is done by Gerrit (double HTTP Authentication will not work). For more information see [Gerrit documentation]. [Gerrit documentation]: https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/rest-api.html#authentication

The plugin is integrated into the IntelliJ IDE with a [tool window]. [tool window]: http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/IDEADEV/IntelliJ+IDEA+Tool+Windows See package com.urswolfer.intellij.plugin.gerrit.ui.

Most of the communication between the plugin and a Gerrit instance is based on the [Gerrit REST API]. [Gerrit REST API]: https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/rest-api.html See package com.urswolfer.intellij.plugin.gerrit.rest.

Some actions like comparing and listing files are based on Git operations. [IntelliJ Git4Idea] is used for these operations. [IntelliJ Git4Idea]:http://git.jetbrains.org/?p=idea/community.git;a=tree;f=plugins/git4idea See package com.urswolfer.intellij.plugin.gerrit.git.

To build the plugin on your machine you need to have at least a downloaded copy of IntelliJ. The plugin depends on multiple jars of IntelliJ IDEA but as these are not available via Maven Central, you'll have to install the various Intellij jars located in the lib folder of your IntelliJ install into your local Maven repository.

For your convienience there is a bash script which will do exactly this for you

    $ cd gerrit-intellij-plugin/
    $ ./install-intellij-libs.sh <IntelliJ Version> <Path to IntelliJ>

To run the maven build you'll also need to install an updated version of [ideauidesigner-maven-plugin]. See that readme for installation instructions. [ideauidesigner-maven-plugin]: https://github.com/gshakhn/ideauidesigner-maven-plugin/tree/12.x

Current issue: You need to change the scope of idea and forms_rt in pom.xml from provided to compile in order to successfully build it with maven.

After you install all jars which this plugin needs into your local repo, just run

mvn package

The resulting zip file will be located in the target folder.
