I'm developing a plugin that analyzes source code in a project. Now I need to run it on a great number of projects, so I decided to automate the process. Looking for a way to achieve this I found that I need to implement ApplicationStarter interface and declaring it as extension point in appStart category, as described here:
Intellij - how to make a plugin that can perform IDE actions via a CLI or web service?
Although, I was not able to execute my custom command. When I run
idea64 mycommand
a loading screen of intellij starts and then nothinng happens. I have to kill the process via task manager. My version Is 2020 on Windows 10.
I'm writing here too as on jetbrains I've received no answers yet.
Is there something i'm missing? Thank you in advance.

I have a Maven Project, Ant Project which are somehow coupled. If I have to make any change in maven project and test it I have to do following steps every time, which is very time consuming.
Steps
ant stopserver
mvn install
ant startserver
Access it on localhost:8080
And to debug anything I have to create a Remote Debug Configuration which connects to port 8000 and start ant server in debug mode.
All this is new to me as I have only worked on microservices based out of maven when there is a #SpringApplication class with main method which I could directly run/debug. In this project, there is no class with main method. It's a legacy spring mvc project.
I seriously want some way to do the same with current project. I tried going though the build.xml but ant steps are hardly taken less than a second.
Is there a way possible? Can it run like a normal maven project? Ant is probably building some db and ui parts (not very sure). But I only work on Java side.
Please help. Anything that could get rid of me having to run mvn install with every small change would also be helpful. To reduce the time taken by mvn install I used the script from this answer here and added that as well, as one of the before launch steps but the time taken is still the same.
I have tried following post but it did not work for me How to build maven project with ant script?
Open the lid and find out what exactly ant startserver does, and then create a launch configuration in your IDE that does the same thing. You might be able to cheat a bit and investigate the process in the operating system using its tools to get the invocation commandline.
Then run that launch configuration in the Debugger and tell your IDE to tell the JVM to hotswap newly compiled classes.
You should now have a much improved experience.
You may want to take the opportunity to teach Maven how to launch your server as that might enable the IDE to pick this up directly.
I was able to achieve at least one click start by Adding ant targets as part of the "Before Launch" inside "Run/Debug Configurations". To reduce the time taken by mvn install I used the script from this answer here and added that as well, as one of the before launch steps.
By enabling Logs, this also became user friendly.
Here is how my config looks like now,
However, I still have to do maven install.
After installing the Java Extension Pack, Spring Boot Extension Pack, and Lombok, I created a basic Spring Boot project just to test out VSCode (I followed the Spring Boot initializer which works surprisingly well).
I attempted to run the application (barebones / skeleton project) and when clicking on the "Play" button and selecting "Run Java", the Run dialog hangs indefinitely.
I can run the project from the command line, using maven to compile it followed by java -jar; however, I want to be able to do everything in VSCode including running and debugging.
I clicked on "check details", but there isn't any information for me to go by and make an educated guess as to what is going on.
EDIT:
Just to be clear, I am running VSCode on FreeBSD (which is not Linux).
you can have a look on this extension whitch look like Boot Dashboard in Eclipse and it enable you to manage your application and have a control above it andu can run multiple projects using it in this Link.
Note: i think it need java 11 to work
Here is a description of how to use springboot. You can refer to it to see if there is a problem with any operation.

I'm finding it difficult to phrase this question well, as there are quite a few generic terms (run, configuration, launch, etc.). Here goes:
You can save run configurations in a .launch file. (in the Run Configuration Dialog, under the Common tab, Save as a shared file.
We check these in to SVN. The developers can pass them around, and it helps getting new devs running a working application quicker.
I'd like to check these out as part of our build and use them to programatically run the application, the tests, etc, without spinning up the whole IDE.
What would be the best way to run a .launch file outside of the UI?
Edit: I am trying to unify the tests run on the build server and the IDE. I do not
particularly want to give up integrated debugging, which would be the case with an ant script to run the tests .
This is probably more a problem for integration testing with multiple bundles, or unit testing a whole bundle, where you'd like to mock up extensions.
there is an eclipse plugin built over JUnit, called TPTP. It provides an automation client which can be used to launch the test from eclipse with no gui. maybe it helps
Ant4Eclipse may provide a good starting point on how to do this.
Unfortunately, this is limited to Java Applications and JUnit configurations; I am more interested in PDE applications and Plugin JUnit tests.
I have recently had alot of success building an Eclipse RCP app inside a Hudson CI server using Eclipse Buckminster. It took a bit of doing, but once I setup both features, made my RCP product be based on features, and added the Buckminster query files and the like, it worked. There is a Hudson/Jenkins Buckminster plugin that allowed me to have hudson build the application.
After saving the launch configurations for each test fragment, I created hudson commands to invoke them (yes one line per test fragment unfortunately), but after that I got the automated CI build that I wanted.
You could also use the shell command Eclipse uses. To get it:
Run your program in Eclipse
Go to the "Debug" view
Right-click on the process (probably the second item in the tree) and select "Properties"
Copy shell command and delete the agentlib flag to run in bash
I think you don't need to use the .launch configurations to run the tests. If you build an application using the Eclipse Build System, then you can use the AntRunner application from Eclipse to run your units tests. This doesn't start the whole IDE.
This article describes how to run the tests during your build process. With this process, you use a special "Test" Eclipse and load the plugins you want to test.
Perhaps running the configurations the way you would run your own custom run configurations would help here. It is described in this article.
I made a java program which runs unit test on my website.
I need the unit test to keep running during the day while I watch the log.
For this, I search a java platform on which I can run my soft. Openshift will be the best because it's easy to install and maintain.
However I will often modify this soft and if the java project could be built whenever I made a commit it will be the best. That's why I think to Jenkins, but I don't know if it is a good way to run a jar from a jenkins server whereas it is made to do build.
I tried JBoss and tomcat by wrapping my programs into an Enterprise Application Client but I can not run and check the log of the program from a web interface.
Currently my project is a Java Application, using MySQL, hibernate, maven and git.
What would be the best option for you ?
Thanks.

Finally, here is my soluce.
I use Jenkins.
When I push on Jenkins, my project is automatically built and ran using a shell script.
If the build or the run fails Jenkins sends me the command output by mail.
Else, every day, the project is run (using the cron of jenkins) and the console output is sent to me by mail, so I can check the result of my test.
I know this sounds like a pathetic question and I'm sure it will get ridiculed but thats the only way I know how to describe the situation.
Scenerio : I'm creating a plugin for another java application. This application that uses the compile jar (my plugin) gets placed in the applications plugin directory. Is there anyway I can go about debugging this jar (which I have to source to) in execution of an application I do not have the source to?
I'm using Eclispe Juno as my IDE.
I would say yes, if you can start the application that you plugin plugs in into :).
java -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:server=y,transport=dt_socket,address=4000,suspend=n myapp
to start then in eclipse setup a remote-debugging session setting it up to connect to your app running in the java debug mode to the localhost on the port 4000
This linky will probably solve all your eclipse problems
