I've always been using the most recent IntelliJ plugin version and it's
fine for all of my code so far and it was never a problem when I worked
on the initial reformatting. For the rare case where more recent
versions of the plugin would produce formatting that is incompatible
with 1.7.5 our CI would catch it and I can run `mvn spotless:apply` to
fix it.
I know that Chesnay added the explanation to pin the IntelliJ plugin to
1.7.5 because of problems reported by Arvid (I believe), but I don't
know in what cases newer plugin versions were producing incompatible
formatting.
Maybe we can just use the most recent plugin in IntelliJ and it's fine
99% of the time?
Best,
Aljoscha
