Jelastic plugin for IntelliJ IDEA

Hi Habravchanam! As promised in the previous post , we finished work on the plugin for IntelliJ IDEA . So now, not only Eclipse lovers can deploy projects to the cloud directly from the IDE, but also users of the most intelligent development environment for Java. A special plugin allows you to log in to Jelastic , deploy applications, manage them and view logs. Working with the plugin is very easy and convenient, but still let's look at the main features with a brief instruction.

Plugin installation

* Jelastic plugin supported since version 11 of IntelliJ IDEA. It requires the JavaEE plugin for IDEA (built into the Ultimate version).

To install the plugin, simply go to Settings> Plugins , click on Browse repositories and select a plugin from the Jelastic list . Then download and install it.

In order to work with Jelastic, you need to enter account information. The Jelastic Settings tab will appear on the settings page , fill in all the necessary fields (login, password and hoster):

Application Deployment

A button with a Jelastic logo will appear on the IDEA toolbar, which performs the deployment. Select the appropriate artifact ( war archive), specify the context and select the environment from the list. After clicking the Deploy button , the project will build up in the war archive and deploy to your environment.

After creating the project, a default artifact will be generated - exploded war archive , which contains the executable files of the web project, and also static pages. To view existing artifacts for a project, go to File> Project structure> Artifacts .

You need to create an artifact with the type war archive . After the project is configured, the code is written - everything is ready to be deployed: the Jelastic plugin itself will assemble or reassemble the project and deploy the artifact.
