In JetBrains’ IDE, it is important to note that APIs can undergo changes, leading to potential incompatibility issues between the plugin and the latest IDE versions. To address this, it is necessary to configure a compatibility strategy for the plugin.

Within AutoDev, we employ the following strategies:

1. Latest APIs: We support versions 233 to 241 and beyond, representing JetBrains’ IDEs where AI plugin development began.

2. Stable APIs: Our compatibility extends to versions 222 to 232, which are widely utilized within enterprise environments and ensure stability.

By adopting these strategies, we aim to enhance the plugin’s compatibility with various JetBrains IDE versions, catering to both cutting-edge and established enterprise development environments.

Gradle Configuration for Compatibility

To ensure compatibility with different IDE versions, we can configure the plugin in the Gradle config, such as gradle.properties:

# Supported platforms: 222, 233
platformVersion=233

By specifying the platform version, we can ensure that the plugin is compatible with the desired IDE versions.

Platform Version Configuration

According to the different platform versions, we can configure the plugin by gradle-{version}.properties. For example, in gradle-222.properties:

pluginSinceBuild=222.*
pluginUntilBuild=232.*

Gradle SourceSets

We can also configure the plugin in the Gradle source sets, such as src/main/{version}/kotlin in build.gradle.kts:

allprojects {
    // ...
    sourceSets {
        main {
            java.srcDirs("src/gen")
            resources.srcDirs("src/$platformVersion/main/resources")
        }
        test {
            resources.srcDirs("src/$platformVersion/test/resources")
        }
    }
    kotlin {
        sourceSets {
            main {
                kotlin.srcDirs("src/$platformVersion/main/kotlin")
            }
            test {
                kotlin.srcDirs("src/$platformVersion/test/kotlin")
            }
        }
    }
    // ...
}

By configuring the plugin in the Gradle source sets, we can ensure that the plugin is compatible with different IDE versions, catering to both cutting-edge and established enterprise development environments.
