[Tutorial] Use writer on latest Jetbrains

[HookWoods]

Here is the tutorial to use mintlify writer on the latest Jetbrains product until the jar get published to JetBrains website:

1- You need at least Java 17 and git on your computer
2- Then git clone this repo: git clone https://github.com/mintlify/writer.git
3- Then type cd IntelliJ
4- Then type ./gradlew clean buildPlugin

5- The plugin will be built for the latest version under build/distributions

6- Open your ide (Webstorm, Intellij, ...)
7- Go to Settings > Plugins > Click on the 3 dots near Installed

8 - Select the zip from instruction 5, restart your ide and it's done!

Hi Hugo @HookWoods, thank you very much for your step-by-step instructions. I'd like to try it right away. Thanks again!

@HookWoods Thank you very much for this temporarily solution. It was taking too long for Jetbrains to include the new build in the plugin store.

Hi, thank you for the guide.
I got the error below at first, but managed to get around it by changing version of kotlin.jvm in intellij/build.gradle.kts

// Kotlin support
//id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm") version "1.6.10"
id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm") version "1.8.0"

The error:

e: /Users/{user}/www/writer/intellij/src/main/kotlin/com/mintlify/document/services/MyProjectService.kt: (9, 9): Class 'kotlin.Unit' was compiled with an incompatible version of Kotlin. The binary version of its metadata is 1.8.0, expected version is 1.6.0.

I made the modification you indicated and managed to make a build that works under Webstorm 2022.3.2. Here is my build.
Mintlify Doc Writer-1.2.3.zip

Build created by @nitatemic works with IntelliJ IDEA 2022.3.2 also.
