• Choose type application
• Give it a name
• From the Modify Options menu select following opitons
  • Add before launch task
  • Add VM Options
  • Add dependencies with "provided" scope to classpath
• In the before launch add build & run maven goal -> clean install
• Use Java 11
• set module to hop-assemblies-debug
• (if on mac) add -XstartOnFirstThread as VM option
• Main Class is org.apache.hop.ui.hopgui.HopGui
• Working director is your-git-location/pluginname/assemblies/debug/target/hop-assemblies-debug-{VERSION}

The {VERSION} should be replaced with the pom version you use.
