I have a gradle extension with a property:

//build.gradle.kts
myExtension {
    myProperty.set(true)
}

Now i want to provide some IDE functionality in my IDEA plugin based on this property.
I there a way to read such a gradle configuration from within an IDE plugin?

I mean i could create a gradle task which outputs the value and trigger/read that from within the IDE plugin, but this seems rather hacky to me

Yes, with the gradle tooling api and a custom Model

If you don’t own the plugin which adds the extension, you could add an extraction plugin and apply it via init script provided by IntelliJ

Thx a lot! Will try the tooling api as i own both.
