Allowing the plugin on other IDEs such as JetBrains Rider

[waseemw]

I've been doing this for months now, all I have to do is:

1. Download the flutter plugin from https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/9212-flutter
2. Use 7zip to open it and modify the -idea-.jar file
3. Open the META-INF/plugin.xml inside
4. Add optional="true" to <depends>org.jetbrains.android</depends>
5. End result would be <depends optional="true">org.jetbrains.android</depends>
6. Close and click 'yes' on the 7zip prompt to modify the original zip file.
7. In JetBrains Rider, install the plugin from disk and chose the zip file

I'm wondering why is it being limited to Android Studio and Intellij IDEA if it works just fine (including debugging) on JetBrains Rider for example?

We have always supported IntelliJ and Android Studio. If the community would like to add support for other platforms, we'd be happy to review a PR, but it would need to be supported by the original authors.

@stevemessick
Can you just add the optional ="true" fix mentioned above in the plugin.xml, so we don't need to go in and edit the XML each time we update the plugin?

@MeltdownInteractive I'm no longer involved with this project.
