## What it is
The official JetBrains Gradle plugin for building, testing, verifying, and publishing plugins for IntelliJ-based IDEs. It configures the build environment, manages IntelliJ Platform dependencies, runs the plugin verifier, and automates publishing to the JetBrains Marketplace.

## Use cases
- build an IntelliJ IDEA plugin with Gradle
- set up a plugin project for JetBrains IDEs
- verify my plugin against multiple IDE versions
- publish an IntelliJ plugin to the JetBrains Marketplace
- run IDE sandbox with my plugin for testing
- configure IntelliJ Platform SDK dependencies in a build
- automate CI builds for an IDE plugin

## When to choose
- you are developing a plugin for any IntelliJ-based IDE (IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, etc.)
- you need automated plugin verification and Marketplace publishing in your build
- you want the officially supported toolchain for IntelliJ plugin development

## When to avoid
- you are building plugins for other editors like VS Code or Eclipse
- your project does not use Gradle as its build system
- you only need to use IntelliJ IDEs, not develop plugins for them

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: build-tool, testing, ci-cd, plugin-system, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools
