Advise users to uninstall other "Extra" plugins before installing the Tool Pack

[Javaru]

You may want to instruct/advise users to uninstall your other plugins prior it installing the Extra Tools Pack. As a long time user, I had Extra Icons installed when I purchased and installed the Tools Pack. When I restarted IntelliJ IDEA (v2024.1), it refused to start with the below exception occurring. I had to manually uninstall Extra Icons by deleting it from the plugins directory on my file system. Ideal, it would be nice to warn about this at installation time.

Looking forward to using the features provided by the addition of as Extra IDE Tweaks and Extra ToolWindow Colorful Icons via the Extra Tools Pack.

Hi, thanks for your feedback. Yeah, these plugins are marked as incompatible, so the IDE is supposed to disable both plugins, and show an error in the Plugins manager. Unfortunately, it doesn't work super well, and it can lead to the worst scenario: the IDE can't start. I'm very sorry for that. I will open an issue in the IntelliJ's bug-tracker.
I will see how to inform users about this problem. I will mention this in the plugin's description, but I'm wondering if plugins (like Extra Icons) should also display a notification saying users should uninstall (Extra Icons) if they wish to install Extra Tools Pack.

OMG, I am an idiot, Extra Icons' ID is lermitage.intellij.extra.icons, but I marked Extra Tools Pack incompatible with lermitage.ij.extra.icons. This explains why the IDE lets you install both plugins. Very sorry for that. I will publish a plugin update asap.

Published a new plugin release to the JetBrains marketplace. It should be available next Tuesday. Or this evening if I'm lucky. JetBrains validates plugins within 2 business days, but sometimes this is much faster.

Glad it was something simple. As the king of bugs due to typos, I can relate. Thanks for the fast turnaround time.
