The plugin will add a compiler plugin to the IntelliJ build chain which will detect if a module uses Felix SCR annotations. In case the compiling module uses Felix SCR annotations it will create a service component XML and add it to the MANIFEST.MF.
See wiki page
As a User you just have to add the Felix SCR Annotations (1.6.0) as a dependecy to your Module and hit the make button. The output directory will contain the generated service component XML. The service component XML will be added to the MANIFEST.MF as Service-Component.
The compiler plugin will look in the dependency graph of the module (which will be currently compiled) if class "org.apache.felix.scr.annotations.Component" is available. In case the class is available the plugin assumes that Felix SCR annotations are in use. The service component xml will be created and added to the manifest in the build output. If no manifest exists it will print a warning tat the service component XML couldn't be added.
In our project we wanted to use Felix SCR annotations to simplefy development. We are working in a ANT build environment and with a MANIFEST first approach. They are other Intellij plugins available which will process Felix SCR annotations but those plugins are Maven centric. I couldn't find a Intellij plugin which just adds the simple capability to process Felix SCR annotations without Maven.
The plugin currently does support only Felix Annotations 1.9.4.
The plugin doesn't support JavaDoc parsing.
This Requires is Intellij 12. Please execute "gradlew copyLibs" on the command line to prepare needed libraries.
Thanks to arikkfir for sharing his project Apache-Felix-IntelliJ-Plugin which works really well for Maven Projects. It helped me to write this little plugin.
