Install Jetbrains Tools (Ansible Role)

This ansible role installs a given list of Jetbrains tools.

• The latest version of the respective tool will be fetched from the jetbrains data services.
• Tools will be installed to /opt (configurable by jetbrains_installer_dir).
• Old versions will be automatically removed by default.
• For a full list and the correct names take a look at the APP_CODES_STABLE definition in the lookup plugin.
• And for early access programs (EAP), e.g. RustRover, take a look at the JETBRAINS_EAP_RELEASES definition in the lookup plugin. Simply put the name of the tool (as defined in the update URLs) in the jetbrains_installer list. See example playbook below.
