The Atlassian IntelliJ Connector allows you to conduct Crucible reviews in your integrated development environment.
This page tells you how to start a new review. The connector has full support for creating post-commit reviews from within IDEA. You can also create a patch review. Both are described below.
For more about conducting reviews within your IDE, refer to Using Crucible in the IntelliJ Connector.
On this page:
Creating a Post-Commit Review
To create a review of a committed change:
- In IDEA, open the 'Repository' tab of the 'Changes' tool window, as shown in the screenshot below:

- Select the changelist you want reviewed.
- Right-click the changelist and select 'Create Review', or click the 'Create Review'
icon in the toolbar.
- The 'Create Review' window will open, as shown below:

- Enter the details, noting the following:
- 'Save Review as Draft' — Tick this box if you want to keep the review in draft status. If this box is not ticked, the review will be approved immediately i.e. its status will be 'Under Review'.
- Click 'Create Review'.
Creating a Patch Review
To initiate a review of the code you have just created:
- Invoke the VCS Commit dialogue on the set of changes you want to have reviewed (file, directory, change set or project). For example, invoke the Subversion -> Commit if SVN is your version control system (VCS) of choice.
- This opens the 'Commit Changes' dialogue (shown below), to which the connector adds a 'Crucible Patch... button.
All other functionality of the 'Commit Changes' dialogue remains unchanged.

- Click the 'Crucible Patch...' button.
- The 'Create Patch Review' screen appears, as shown below.

The fields on the 'Create Patch Review' dialogue are the same as the fields in the Crucible web interface. Additionally, the dialogue contains a read-only view of the patch under review, in the Universal diff format.
- Enter the details, noting the following:
- 'Save Review as Draft' — Tick this box if you want to keep the review in draft status. If this box is not ticked, the review will be approved immediately i.e. its status will be 'Under Review'.
- Click the 'Create review...' button to create the review on the Crucible server.
