RoboVM plugin installation does not work when downloaded with Safari

[julienvillegas]

Issue details

this is more of a documentation issue, but it will remove headaches:

on http://robovm.mobidevelop.com/ if you follow the instructions for for IntelliJ IDEA or Android Studio Step 3 states: "Download the RoboVM IntelliJ IDEA plugin Jar"

This only works if you use Google Chrome. If you use Safari, the browser will automatically decompress the zip file. it will let you import the IDEA element successfully which is misleading, but upon the initialization of the plugin the following error appears:

To fix this issues step 3 should state: "Download the RoboVM IntelliJ IDEA plugin Jar using Chrome (it does not work with Safari)"

note: apparently a few users have been struggling with this issue.

you should download a zip file without unpacking. safari can handle this case. or you can install plugin from Idea market place
