Remove Protobuf Support plugin from JetBrains Plugins Repository

[kshchepanovskyi]

Hey @jvolkman

I'm author of https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/8277-protobuf-support. I'm happy that Google finally released open-source plugin for Protocol Buffers. Probably now it's time to shut down my plugin and let people replace it with this one.

I'm going to test this plugin for a few days and then if everything works well - I'll ask JetBrains to remove my plugin from repository.

P.S. I have code in my plugin that asks user to disable other plugins that support "*.proto" files - https://github.com/protostuff/protobuf-jetbrains-plugin/blob/master/src/main/java/io/protostuff/jetbrains/plugin/ProtostuffPluginController.java#L193. It might cause issues, need to think what can be done about it.

For what it's worth I'm not with Google anymore. I developed this primarily as a side project while I was there and was able to get it released before I left. But it's just me supporting this fork now.

I just wanted to chime in and say thank you to both of you for providing these awesome plugins 🏅

I requested plugin removal from JetBrains Plugin Repository.

Actually a lot of people used it - with new plugin they should get better support for Protocol Buffers.
