Intellij Plugin Setup Instructions
STEP 1: Download Intellij Plugin
STEP 2: Install Intellij Plug-in
- Requires Intellij 7 or later.
- Unzip the Intellij plug-in download into INTELLIJ/plugins/ where INTELLIJ is the directory containing your Intellij installation.
- Restart Intellij.
- Verify that you see the CheckThread icon on the toolbar (see screenshot below).
STEP 3: Import CheckThread Annotations
- The checkthread-annotations.jar file is located in the /lib directory of the plug-in you just installed. You can also download this annotation jar file separately.
- Import the checkthread-annotations.jar file into your Java project so you can add annotations to your Java code.
- Do not remove this jar file from your unzipped plug-in directory. You can copy this jar file somewhere else if you wish.
STEP 4: Enable CheckThread
- Click on the CheckThread toggle button at the top of your toolbar (see screenshot below).
- CheckThread will run and display results in a console window and error stripe.
- Unclick the toolbar button to clear errors and rerun again.
The following is an Intellij screenshot showing the CheckThread plug-in enabled with a sample error being reported.
