Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The need to repeatedly develop plug-ins for different integrated development environments with the same function leads to a significant waste of human resources and time.
Innovation Solution
A cross-platform plug-in development method using a unified plug-in template with pre-compiled execution code adaptable to multiple integrated development environments, allowing developers to write service code in a common language and send the filled template to the target environment for compilation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If plug-ins are separately developed for each integrated development environment, then compatibility with specific environments is ensured, but development time and human resources are significantly wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by creating a single plug-in template that can serve multiple integrated development environments simultaneously. The template includes pre-compiled execution code that is adapted to different running environments, allowing one template to be compiled into multiple environment-specific plug-ins. This eliminates the need to separately develop plug-ins for each IDE, resolving the contradiction between ensuring environment compatibility and reducing development time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-compiling execution code within the plug-in template before it is filled and compiled for specific environments. The template is prepared in advance with universal code structures and pre-compiled components that can be adapted to different IDEs. This preliminary preparation significantly reduces the time required for subsequent environment-specific compilation while maintaining compatibility across platforms.
2Reliability
If plug-ins are separately developed for each integrated development environment, then environment-specific optimization is achieved, but resource consumption increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing a single plug-in template that can be compiled for multiple integrated development environments. The template contains pre-compiled execution code that is adapted to different running environments, allowing developers to maintain one template instead of creating separate plug-ins for each IDE. This significantly reduces human resource consumption while ensuring each target environment receives an optimized plug-in through the compilation process.
3Productivity
If a unified plug-in template is used for multiple environments, then development efficiency is improved, but complexity of adapting to different running environments increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the plug-in template into distinct functional layers: the interface layer, service logic layer, and communication layer. Each layer has specific responsibilities and can be independently managed. The pre-compiled execution code is segmented into environment-specific components that are automatically selected during compilation. This segmentation reduces the perceived complexity by organizing the template structure systematically, allowing developers to work efficiently without being overwhelmed by the multi-environment adaptation complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies the intermediary principle by introducing a compilation process as a mediator between the unified template and the target environments. The compilation system handles the complexity of adapting the template to different running environments automatically, selecting appropriate pre-compiled code and configuring environment-specific parameters. This intermediary process shields developers from the complexity of multi-environment adaptation while maintaining high development efficiency.

AI summary
Cross-platform plug-in development is described. Cross-platform plug-in development includes acquiring a plug-in template corresponding to a plurality of integrated development environments, where the plug-in template includes pre-compiled execution code adapted to running environments corresponding to the plurality of integrated development environments. Service code is acquired, where the service coded is related to a service corresponding to a service plug-in developed for a target integrated development environment based on the plug-in template and where the service code is code developed based on a common development language supported by each of the plurality of integrated development environments. After the service code is filled into the plug-in template, the plug-in template is compiled to obtain the service plug-in corresponding to the target integrated development environment.
