icon-resources

Manage IntelliJ icons in Java resource roots by updating generated icon classes or exclusion rules. Follow the documented generation and verification steps, check affected call sites, and update API dumps when a generated field changes the public API.

Icon Resources

Use this skill when adding, renaming, moving, deleting, or referencing icons under a Java resource root, or when a failure mentions generated icon classes or icon-robots.txt.

Generated Icon Classes

  • Icons under resource roots are normally represented by generated *Icons.java classes.
  • Do not add local IconLoader.getIcon(...) wrappers for icons that should be in a generated icon class. Use the generated field directly from production code and tests.
  • If an icon should intentionally be excluded from class generation, add or update an icon-robots.txt rule near the icon resources instead of creating an ad hoc loader.
  • Generated classes include cache keys derived from normalized SVG content. Do not guess cache keys.

How To Update

  1. Prefer running the IDE run configuration Icons processing | Generate icon classes when available.
  2. If the run configuration is unavailable, run the icon-class test and apply the exact generated diff it prints for the affected class: bt.cmd --module intellij.platform.images.build.tests --filter org.jetbrains.intellij.build.images.CommunityIconClassesTest
  3. After applying the generated output, rerun the same test to confirm there are no stale generated icon classes.
  4. Also run the affected module tests or compilation for production call-site changes; the icon-class test validates generated files but does not necessarily compile every icon consumer.
  5. A new or renamed field in a generated icon class changes the public API. Update the API dumps of each module with a changed icon class. In the monorepo, use the api-dump skill to run ApiCheckTest. For AllIcons, update these modules:
    • intellij.platform.util.ui for AllIcons
    • intellij.platform.icons for AllIconDescriptors
    • intellij.platform.jewel.ui for AllIconsKeys

Bazel Status

As of this guide, icon class generation is not exposed as a Bazel runnable target. The package @community//platform/build-scripts/icons contains library and test targets, but no binary target:

bazel query 'kind(".*binary.*", @community//platform/build-scripts/icons:all)'

Use bt.cmd for verification. If a generator binary target is added later, prefer that documented Bazel target over the IDE run configuration.
