Ensure future IDEA compatibility... #115

https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WEB-62256/Ensure-future-IDEA-compatibility-for-simple-theme-plugin

Here we go again.

New IDEA version distributed by snap without prior warning.

Existing theme plugin claimed incompatible.

Try to build using a new Idea-IU release.

Obscure errors about incompatible JDK versions etc.

Try to edit the few build files manually and upload the resulting plugin update to marketplace.

Error: Plugin descriptor 'plugin.xml' is not found, although the file is present in the jar.

All I want to do is make sure my IDEA theme can be used (this one: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/16721-cute-pink-light-theme ). I do NOT want to waste several unpaid working hours every few months to adapt my free, open source, side project to a new version of a commercial IDE.

Is there any way to claim future compatibility for the next upcoming versions so that I only have to act in the unlikely case that my few color definitions are actually incompatible with a future IDEA?
