Feature: Install an extension to multiple profiles

[lzervos]

Profiles are built in order to distinguish and use different customizations based on the type of project we are working on, at any given moment.

Generally, different extensions are installed to each separate profile. But there is a huge exception to this rule, extensions that are mainly language-agnostic (e.g Source Control, Code Formatter, etc...). This type of extensions are usually necessary in every code development scenario and consequently profile.

So, I believe it's crucial to have the ability of multiple profile selection, to avoid time-wasting by installing the same extension over and over again.

Proposed solution

There are many ways to add this ability. For me the best one, is a dropdown list which will operate similarly to the one below

Dependency selection during Spring Boot project initialization

P.S I also have other possible solutions in mind, so feel free to contact me 😉
