Noob, how to target multiple platforms for plugin?

IntelliJ Platform
1

i’m making a plugin to support a custom language via lsp4ij. i have it mostly working for IDEA, but i want it to also work in pycharm.

im finding the docs very confusing. how do i target all intelliJ IDEs that are able to support the plugin, or even manually define multiple targets (eg IDEA community, IDEA Ultimate, Pycharm Community, PyCharmPro… etc…

my build.gradle is as

plugins {
    id 'java'
    id("org.jetbrains.intellij.platform") version "2.2.1"
}

group 'pawrequest'
version '0.0.1'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    intellijPlatform {
        defaultRepositories()
    }
}

java {
    toolchain {
        languageVersion.set(JavaLanguageVersion.of(21))
    }
}


dependencies {
    intellijPlatform {
        intellijIdeaCommunity("2024.3.3")
        plugin("com.redhat.devtools.lsp4ij:0.10.0")
    }

}


sourceSets {
    main {
        java {
            srcDirs = ['src/main/java']
        }
        resources {
            srcDirs = ['src/main/resources']
        }
    }
}


test {
    useJUnitPlatform()
}

and plugin.xml is

<idea-plugin>
  <id>pawrequest.rs4ij</id>
  <name>RedScript4IntelliJ</name>
  <vendor>pawrequest</vendor>

  <description>
    Adds support for redscript LSP integration via LSP4IJ.
  </description>

  <version>0.0.1</version>

  <depends>com.intellij.modules.platform</depends>
  <depends>com.intellij.modules.lang</depends>
  <depends>com.redhat.devtools.lsp4ij</depends>

  <extensions defaultExtensionNs="com.redhat.devtools.lsp4ij">
    <server id="RedscriptLanguageServerId"
            name="RedscriptLanguageServer"
            factoryClass="pawrequest.rs4ij.server.RedscriptLanguageServerFactory">
      <description><![CDATA[
        RedScript4IJ language server
        ]]>
      </description>
    </server>
  </extensions>

  <extensions defaultExtensionNs="com.redhat.devtools.lsp4ij">
    <fileNamePatternMapping patterns="*.reds"
                            serverId="RedscriptLanguageServerId"
                            languageId="reds"/>
  </extensions>

</idea-plugin>

You set up these settings in the General Information section on your plugin page after upload. There, you can choose which IDEs will be supported by your plugin.

Additionally, (I see that you currently use it) you can use <depends> tag. If your plugin requires a particular module, you should specify it using this tag.

Please see Plugins Targeting IntelliJ Platform-Based IDEs | IntelliJ Platform Plugin SDK.
AFAIU from your plugin.xml, there should be no issues to support multiple IDEs.

thanks it seems to be working as intended now, i’m not sure why it wasnt loading in pycharm before.
