What should the resource manage?

The webstorm resource will install and manage Webstorm the Jetbrains IDE.

In addition to installing Webstorm, the resource should be able to manage common settings for Webstorm:

• Previous settings import
• Plugins
• Themes and IDE settings like font size spacing and such
• Settings such as JVM heap size and such

For the main resource allow copying settings from a previous installation:

• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42204997/can-i-import-settings-and-open-a-project-on-intellij-from-windows-command-line
• We need the import because if we change the settings via Codify then the settings won't be copied over.
• Allow the user to control this behavior via a settings flag that defaults to true

Plugin management

• Plugins: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/webstorm/install-plugins-from-the-command-line.html#macos
• Add an auto-completion script for plugins so that it's easier for users

Settings:

• JVM heap size would be super useful
• Themes and IDE settings
