Jetbrains IDE Backend Plugin

Jetbrains IDE backend plugin to provide support for Gitpod.

When installed in the headless Jetbrains IDE running in a Gitpod workspace, this plugin monitors user activity of the client IntelliJ and sends heartbeats accordingly. Avoiding the workspace timing out.

Warning: Currently, given the challenge of mimicking user activity in a local Jetbrains IDE, there are no automated integration tests testing the functionality of this plugin. Please be particularly careful and manually test your changes.

Usage

1. Produce the plugin by running ./gradlew buildPlugin.
2. Unzip build/distributions/jetbrains-backend-plugin-1.0-SNAPSHOT.zip to the plugins/ folder of the headless Jetbrains IDE.
3. Start the headless Jetbrains IDE.
