I want to install the Google Java Format plugin for IntelliJ IDEA . I have the latest community build version 2016 (build # IC-163.11103.6, January 16, 2017), so plugin version 1.2 must be compatible. However, when I try to install it, I get an error message:
The plugin 'google-java-format' is not compatible with this version.
After looking at the solution, I found that this error is displayed if the version of IntelliJ is not supported. However, the plugin page states that the assembly 163 that I have must be compatible.
In addition, when searching for a plugin in the built-in IntelliJ plug-in browser, I can find (and install) version 1.0. I assume that my IntelliJ plug-in manager believes that it works on an old build or that the plug-in is actually incompatible with the latest build.
What is the correct method to install the latest Google Java Format plugin?
In addition: how to install the plugin from disk? This help page does not tell me if I should install the google-java-format.zip file or extract it and install 2. jar files found inside separately.
