Gradle Navigation Plugin For IntelliJ

Download/Install Here

Overview

Open our customized popup dialog and choose from a variety of context-sensitive destinations, including tree nodes,
goals, and tasks.
For each destination choose from context-sensitive actions such as go, open, run, and debug.

Say goodbye to bland popup menus and fatigue invoking nested trees. You can configure options under Settings/Appearance/Gradle
Navigation. Make sure to assign to the popup command to a convenient, unused function key!

Features

Destination Popup A popup window is also provided with buttons to either go to tasks or
groups in the Gradle tree, or run tasks directly. You can easily customize the content and order of items in the
popup.
The navigation popup now includes links to various project and module settings,
along with Android resource directories, the Maven project tree, and Maven POM files (if they exist in
conventional locations)

Menu Items – The Gradle/Maven Navigation Plugin for IntelliJ adds additional features to the
standard Gradle and Maven plugin.
You can now swivel between the source editor, the project view, and the Gradle view. A custom popup
displays common destinations and user configured tasks and groups. Commands are added to various context menus in
the Project Tree, Gradle Tree, and Editor Window.

Goto Gradle/Maven – project, task, or group

Goto Project – gradle settings or build, source root, or resource root

Gradle Users: This plugin works for both single-project and multi-project Gradle builds.

Issues

Discovered Android paths are hardcord to /module_root/res and /module_root/src/main/res

We use reflection to access Gradle in places where the Gradle plugin does not expose the functionality we need.
