Increase the platform compatibility range

[Jeeppler]

The IntelliJ platform supports several IDEs. Plugins based on the IntelliJ platform, like this one, supports by default several IDEs. However, the problem with the SecHub IntelliJ Plugin is, that the compatibility range is very small. Android Studio 4.1 is based on version 201.x and RubyMine 2020.3 is based on 203.x. The problem is, this plugin only supports 202.x, therefore this plugin cannot be installed on either Android Studio 4.1 or RubyMine 2020.3.

A solution is to increase the compatibility range.

Have a look at this page which explains the relation between build number ranges and version numbers: https://jetbrains.org/intellij/sdk/docs/basics/getting_started/build_number_ranges.html

Basically, 201 refers to 2020.1, 202 refers to 2020.2, 203 to 2020.3 and so on.

Hmm... unfortunately JetBrains has made some API changes:

When switching to 2020.1 as intellij version, there are gradle build failures:

Maybe last commit did solve the problem, but can currently not be tested, because plugin is not starting:

So there are still some backward compatibility issues!

[Jeeppler]

@de-jcup what is the timeline for an updated release of the plugin with this fix?

[Jeeppler]

The new release 0.2.0 was reviewed by JetBrains and is now available in the Alpha channel.

The plugin can now be installed in both Android Studio 4.1 and RubyMine 2020.3.
