4. Select "Rider Plugin" as the module type and follow the instructions to configure the plugin module.
5. Implement your plugin functionality in the plugin module.
6. When you are ready to export the plugin, right-click on the plugin module and select "Prepare Plugin Module for Deployment".
7. In the "Prepare Plugin for Deployment" dialog, select the "Jar" option and follow the instructions to configure the jar file settings.
8. Click "OK" to generate the jar file.
