And that's it! You can now iterate on your plug-in and upload it with additional ./kobaltw uploadJcenter. This plug-in is available on github.
+ The simplest way to run your plug-in in your IDE is to create a main function in the main class of your + plug-in as follows: +
+
+fun main(argv: Array<String>) {
+ com.beust.kobalt.main(argv)
+}
+
+public class Main : BasePlugin(), KobaltLogger {
+// ...
+
+
++ Now you can simply create a launch configuration for your main class, which will invoke Kobalt. +
+ +
+ The next step is to have Kobalt invoke your plug-in, so you will have to modify your build file
+ to call it. As long as you haven't deployed your plug-in to JCenter, you might want to use the
+ file() directive to declare your dependency, so that Kobalt will use the jar file
+ on your file system:
+
+val p = plugins(
+ file(homeDir("kotlin/kobalt-line-count/kobaltBuild/libs/kobalt-line-count-0.8.jar"))
+)
+
+
++ You can now set a breakpoint in your plug-in and launch the configuration you created above. +
