Install JetBrains Tools (Ansible Role)

This Ansible role installs a list of JetBrains tools.

• It will automatically get the latest version of each tool from JetBrains’ data services.
• Tools will be installed in the /opt directory (you can change this with jetbrains_installer_dir).
• By default, it will remove any old versions automatically.
• For a complete list of tools and their names, check the APP_CODES_STABLE section in the lookup plugin.
• For early access programs (EAP) like RustRover, refer to the JETBRAINS_EAP_RELEASES section in the lookup plugin. Just add the tool names (as seen in the update URLs) to the jetbrains_installer list. See the example playbook below.
