installing plugins

[pheenomenon]

Hi, was wondering if you are aware of any way to remotely configure plugins in intelliJ. We are looking for options to install & configure few plugins after intelliJ is installed via chef.
Eclipse has oomph which helps achieve this purpose.
For instance: want to install & configure SonarLint plugin on intelliJ and configure it to connect to a remote SonarQube server. Any pointers will help.

I have a suspicion that if you drop them into the correct path before launching the IDE it will detect them and prompt you to enable/configure them on first open but I haven't tested this theory yet.

And for the configuration,

A couple more notes that might be related if you are wanting to manage the plugin repository sources and/or cache them through something like Artifactory or Nexus.
