@jonathanlermitage.1 raised a point in Questions on V2 plugin descriptor - #5 by jonathanlermitage.1 and mentioned that in the past paid plugins were not supported in split mode.

Are paid plugins and license handling supported in split mode / remote development?

Thank you!

It’s supposed to be fixed on the client side (IJPL-171075), but the split-mode may be a different thing.
I tested my monolithic paid plugins in a splited IDE, and I faced two issues:

  • the license checks partially worked (edit: I tested again, it did not work at all). I think this was normal, as my plugins are not supposed to support remote IDEs (like Gateway).
  • some Swing UI elements were not correctly displayed (I have some settings panels with things like JetBrains’ EditorTextField fields), even when the plugin is installed on the host side.

I will try to create a sample plugin based on v2 plugin descriptor and see what happens with the license checks and Swing.

A similar issue has been raised in my issue tracker before. I haven’t checked the remote for a while, but it seems to have been fixed: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IJPL-171075/Licensing-on-JetBrainsClient-side

But for paid plugin versions, compatibility on Marketplace still shows JetBrains Client as unsupported at the moment. :thinking:
