Arch Linux User Repository

The latest EAP version (2024.2) shows this message:

The IDE seems to be launched with a script launcher (bin/idea.sh). Please consider > switching to a native launcher (bin/idea) for better experience.

You might consider changing the Exec in the desktop launcher file to follow this recommendation, @artafinde.

grdgkjrpdihe: Slightly harder to maintain and so far I had no indication of someone using it - I'll try bring it back, wait for -3

why "no jbr" option has been removed

Sorry for the delay I was waiting to see if they will fix the JBR-3066 but since no real progress from Jetbrains I packaged with previous JBR.

Please report any issues while building.

Holidays period without access to the AUR key - I'll fix this when back to base circa 04/01/2020

@Magotchi: maybe it's related to High DPI. I'd suggest jetbrains troubleshooting page and then report it on their bug system if it's not solved.

Thanks for the the options. I tried out JBR 11 and also just the normal OpenJDK 11, and the fonts are looking a little odd in Java 11 in general compared to JBR 8. All menu fonts seem slightly small and a little bit too blurred. For the longest time, I used to use the Infinality builds of JVM 8 to make IDEA look nice, but they seemed to patch the font issues quite nicely in JBR 8 a couple years ago; it just looks like JBR 11 hasn't quite caught up. If anybody has any tweaks or something to make 11 look nice, please share.

You can now choose to use JBR8 or no-JBR prior to build by editing the _JBR variable in PKDBUILD. Use jbr8, no-jbr or leave empty to default to JBR11. See more info on the blog-post by Jetbrains. PS: Technically the java-environment can be optional dependency since the default is to come with JBR but I'll leave it like this since one would probably want to do development in Java.

@Magotchi: fixed, I didn't have this issue as I have CLion installed which indeed has that dependency - thanks.
