I have developed Git Churn plugin (repo: GitHub - j-plugins/git-churn-plugin: Intellij IDEA Plugin provides Git Churn statistics), which registers a few actions in a group to the Project View settings menu:
It works well, but users complain that it doesn’t appear when they install the plugin.
I confirm that the group doesn’t appear there after the plugin installed, but after the ide restarted.
Moreover, I tried to unload the plugin and open that settings menu afterwards and caught an exception:
Looks my actions aren’t unregistered from the menu and I should do it manually, but if I register the group in the top menu element Git (with VcsGroups group id) everything works well and no errors are found:
Later I found several lines in the sandbox logs:
2025-11-11 12:05:40,971 [ 70250] INFO - #c.i.AbstractBundle - Cannot load resource bundle from *.properties file, falling back to slow class loading: messages.GitChurnBundle
Is it ok for gradle based projects?
The original error stacktrace and a few log lines before it:
2025-11-11 12:05:10,552 [ 39831] INFO - #c.i.AbstractBundle - Cannot load resource bundle from *.properties file, falling back to slow class loading: messages.GitChurnBundle

I also tried to use Disposer and Disposable | IntelliJ Platform Plugin SDK instruction, but cannot find the place where I can find that stacktrace.
Any thoughts what goes wrong?
