Inspectopedia 2025.3 Help

Component/Action not registered

Reports plugin components and actions that are not registered in a plugin.xml descriptor.

This eases developing new components when using the "Create Class" intention and helps keep track of potentially obsolete components.

Provided quick-fix to register the component adds necessary registration in plugin.xml descriptor.
