dependencies in plugin.xml

[moglideveloper]

Our sample intellij plugin is dependent on intellij scala plugin.

So, as per our functional requirement,
sample intellij plugin supposed to work only on those versions of intellij and intellij products,
where intellij scala plugin works.

We are follwing recommendations as discussed here #105
and above, still we are not getting a clarity on dependent plugins.

We have only declared a dependency on org.intellij.scala and there is a warning in our plugin.xml :

Kindly confirm, what are all the plugins that needs to be declared in plugin.xml,
if sample intellij plugin supposed to work only on those versions of intellij and intellij products,
where intellij scala plugin works.

Please see :

    <depends>com.intellij.modules.platform</depends>
    <depends>com.intellij.modules.lang</depends>

Please also see below comment for reference where com.intellij.modules.platform, com.intellij.properties are also declared in addition to org.intellij.scala:

and plugin.xml

<idea-plugin>
    <id>naumneko.test.vendor.testintellij2</id>
    <name>TestIntellij2</name>
    <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <vendor>naumneko.test.vendor</vendor>

@mutcianm
Can it be that DevKit plugin doesn't recognize <!DOCTYPE ...>?
I see it in Scala PLugin plugin.xml but not in other plugins.
BTW scala plugin is available in the completion list inside <depends> it's just resolve/goto that doesn't work on it's id, once it's completed

@unkarjedy I've removed doctype declaration from the scala plugin as well. It breaks parsing of plugin.xml in 2021.2.

[unkarjedy]

Maybe it would be safe to port into 2021.1, taking into account that other plugins in 211 don't have it?

Upgraded to :
intellijPlugins += "org.intellij.scala:2021.1.21:Eap".toPlugin

Still, <depends>org.intellij.scala</depends> is in red.
