How do I install a specific version of an IDEA plugin?

I have experienced problems since moving to the latest version of one of the IDEA plugins I use. I can download ZIP files of previous versions of the plugin from their website but I can't find any installation instructions for how to manually install a specific version of a plugin.

Anyone know how to do this?

Solution

  • Think you can simple drop the jar in the plugins directory:

    idea.plugins.path=${user.home}/.IntelliJIdea80/config/plugins

    On Windows:

    idea.plugins.path=%USERPROFILE%\.IntelliJIdea80\config\plugins
