Arch Linux User Repository

After starting to use the remote development feature in IDEA, I started running into java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class com.sun.jna.Native

This doesn't happen on every SSH connection attempt but it happens frequently if you're using the feature full time, like I am.

Putting jna on the classpath by installing https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/jna has fixed this issue for me.

I'm using mkchrootpkg, which seems to be the cause (investigating).

Update: it's a paru bug, apologies for the confusion

It is updated. Are you sure you're not using a cached build directory?

Forgot to update buildver? Am getting this error

mv: cannot stat 'idea-IU-243.25659.59/*': No such file or directory

My patch to upgrade to 2024-3.2.2:

@witt.9099 Thanks for your support. At the moment @dcelasun is mainly pushing updates. In what area would you like to support this PKG?

@uwolfer Request for joint maintenance

True. Although I also don't want another JRE somewhere on my system that might get picked by something by mistake, so deleting it feels slightly safer. :-)

You don't have to remove the JetBrains runtime, just change it to whatever you prefer.

BTW, I've just tried the current version without the JBR (basically I just removed the mv "$srcdir"/jbr "$pkgdir"/opt/$pkgbase line from the package function in PKGBUILD) and the IDE started fine, just as previous versions.

So for me, including the JBR: - made the package over 400 MB larger, - messed up the font configuration -- all fonts (both in the UI and the editor) were about twice or three times larger than before. Although I'm sure I'd be able to reconfigure this to usable sizes if I wanted to.
