IDEA plugin is installed in wron location

The current EAP of IDEA has a separate plugin directory for plugins installed by the user. Unfortunately YourKit Profiler still installs its plugin in the main plugin folder. It should at least ask whether to install into the user plugin dir.

Just move "${idea.home}/plugins/yourkit-for-idea.jar" to "${idea.plugins.path}". This should do the trick.

Yeah, sue, that's what I do every time I install a new version of the profiler.
But I want it to do this the right way by itself.

Doesn't plug-in installed into IDEA_HOME/plugins directory work?

It probably will work in this location. I never tested that, but I always move it into the user plugin directory, so that I don't have to reinstall it when installing a new EAP build of IDEA.

It does work in the default location. I made this same observation a while back:

This is a very minor thing in place for backwards compatibility.

We've contacted IDEA developers and currently are disscussing possible ways how to determine where plug-ins are located.
