IntelliJ version numbers may be wrong

[dhalperi]

I have been completely unable to find any documentation on how JetBrains/IntelliJ compare versions. However, the IDE does not currently suggest an upgrade to 1.10 nor does it list 1.10 as the newest on the site: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/8527-google-java-format

It might be the case that the code compares versions in string form rather than numerical form. If so, 1.10 would be less than 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, etc.

I note that the Bazel plugins are versioned 2021.04.07.0.2, with 0 padding.

On https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/8527-google-java-format/versions, 1.10.0.0 is indeed listed after 1.7.0.6!

Yikes, thanks for noticing! I'll try to figure out how to fix this. Hopefully some way that doesn't involve reuploading all the old versions as 1.07.0.6, etc. 😕

It doesn't seem to be possible to install the newer plugin version. I tried to download and install it manually but ended up with a NoClassDefFound exception for google formatter.

@agavrilov76 - manual plugin install on intellij 2020.3.4 worked just fine for me.

I'm getting error on 2021.1.1:
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/google/googlejavaformat/java/JavaFormatterOptions$Style

Gotcha. That's likely a different issue.

Turned out that I was installing plugin incorrectly from an unpacked archive 🙈
I have installed it now but it doesn't seem to reformat JDK 16 Records

@ffdybuster figured this out in #634.
