Steps
- Add the jars of the plugin you’re depending on to the classpath of your IntelliJ Platform SDK.
Do not add the plugin jars as a library: this will fail at runtime because IntelliJ Platform will load two separate copies of the dependency plugin classes.
- Add a <depends> tag to your plugin.xml, adding the ID of the plugin you’re depending on as the contents of the tag. For example: <depends>org.jetbrains.idea.maven</depends>
Module Dependency
module dependency. A module dependency is a <depends> tag where the contents of the tag starts with com.intellij.modules
