Issue CLOV-1155: Simple installer for Clover-for-IDEA
When someone downloads the Clover-for-IDEA from www.atlassian.com he gets clover-idea-x.x.x.jar file. What to do next? Of course you have to open IDEA, select Settings > Plugins > Install from disk, but user might not know. Especially when taking into account that "Install from disk" is not available in older IDEA versions. New feature: provide simple installer for Clover-for-IDEA. When user double-clicks on a JAR, a GUI installer starts (class defined in MANIFEST.MF) which asks for location of IDEA installation. Simple check whether selected folder contains config/plugins directory and copy jar into given location. Show also message how it can be installed from IDEA GUI. Business value: makes Clover evaluation easier.
