  1. first you need fully understand the plugin your are porting.

  2. setup intellij plugin development environment. http://www.jetbrains.org/display/IJOS/Writing+Plug-ins

  3. understand intellij architecture: http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/IDEADEV/IntelliJ+IDEA+Architectural+Overview

  4. read Getting started with plugin development: http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/IDEADEV/Getting+Started+with+Plugin+Development http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AktCFxC9Bx0

  5. the sourcecode of intelliJ is very helpful when your need documentation of some functions or classes.

  6. a plugin sourcecode: https://github.com/whunmr/emacsIDEAs

I think there is no simple and quick way to do this. You need to deeply undestand plugin structure and plugin API of Eclipse and IDEA
