This page should help you out:

Essentially you'll need to learn the Open API, which isn't too difficult, and you can visit several of the plugin examples that exist out there to see how others are doing things. Some plugins with source:

• https://github.com/kinabalu/mysticpaste/tree/master/idea-plugin
• http://blogs.jetbrains.com/idea/2012/10/check-out-more-than-200-open-source-plugins/ (lots of plugin example code here)
