IntelliJ IDEA – Magnolia CMS Integration Plugin

To make development with Magnolia CMS faster and more efficient, we have developed our own JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA plugin. The plugin is now available in a first version in the JetBrains Marketplace. In addition to IntelliJ IDEA, the plugin should also be fully functional in other JetBrains IDEs.

To the Marketplace
