Can you please correct me If I am wrong? Is this the correct way to use Jewel in ToolWindow?

import com.intellij.openapi.project.DumbAware
import com.intellij.openapi.project.Project
import com.intellij.openapi.wm.ToolWindow
import com.intellij.openapi.wm.ToolWindowFactory
import com.intellij.ui.content.Content
import com.intellij.ui.content.ContentFactory
import org.jetbrains.jewel.bridge.JewelToolWindowComposePanel
import org.jetbrains.jewel.foundation.InternalJewelApi
import org.jetbrains.jewel.ui.component.Text

class ChatToolWindowFactory: ToolWindowFactory, DumbAware {

    @OptIn(InternalJewelApi::class)
    override fun createToolWindowContent(project: Project, toolWindow: ToolWindow) {
        val component = JewelToolWindowComposePanel {
            Text("Hello World!")
        }
        val contentFactory = ContentFactory.getInstance()
        val content: Content = contentFactory.createContent(component, "", false)
        toolWindow.contentManager.addContent(content)
    }
}

Under the hood it uses Swing to Compose bridge API. Will this be deprecated in future?

That looks fine to me. You can also use a shortcut with:

import org.jetbrains.jewel.bridge.addComposeTab

class PanelPlugin : ToolWindowFactory, DumbAware {
    override fun createToolWindowContent(project: Project, toolWindow: ToolWindow) {
        toolWindow.addComposeTab("") {
                MyPanel(project, airChatService)
        }
    }

[Mehdi J]

Yeah, but I don't need a tab

[Mehdi J]

It seems addComposeTab also uses the JewelToolWindowComposePanel as I used under the hood.

[Francisco Noriega]

I believe that if you pass "" for the tab name, it actually won't show it, but yeah you can just use the more verbose way like you have it now

All toolwindows have tabs, it's just invisible if it's only one 🙂
