Done. 2026.1.4-2 has the latest JBR for aarch64.

I just forgot. It's not caught by CI. I'll push a pkgrel bump in a bit.

Is there any reason jbr_ver=21.0.6 is pinned specifically at this version? Last bump was at 2025-02-28 [intellij-idea-ultimate-edition] Update to 2024.3.4. Is explicitly specifying it still required?

Regarding the /usr/bin/idea thing: the only thing I can think of (for people NOT having intellij-idea-community-edition installed) would be for this package not including /usr/bin/idea and creating a new package, which would provide just that symlink (and which would conflict with intellij-idea-community-edition and be an optional dependency for intellij-idea-ultimate-edition). The question is whether it's worth the effort (even though the second, minimal package, could probably be created from the same PKGBUILD).

Personally, I like having both intellij-idea-ultimate-edition and intellij-idea-community-edition installed, even with the recent change from JetBrains. My company pays for an Ultimate license, so for my job-related work, I use intellij-idea-ultimate-edition. For my own projects, I'm not allowed to use it, so I use intellij-idea-community-edition (I also have a different set of plugins there, etc.).

@dmoebius I'd be happy to do that if/when intellij-idea-community-edition in the repos is renamed to intellij-idea.

dmoebius commented on 2026-03-27 13:51 (UTC)

IMHO this AUR should be renamed to just 'intellij-idea-bin' to reflect to fact that IntelliJ IDEA now has the one distribution approach, and that it can be used in both community or ultimate mode.

And the decscription of this AUR should clarify that, as a binary package, it bundles the Jetbrains Runtime (JBR), which enables Wayland support by default now (since 2026.1), in opposite to the extra/intellij-idea-community-edition package which uses the Arch Linux Java runtime.

Looking at the file paths of both packages, the only overlap is /usr/bin/idea. It'd be a shame to add a conflict just for that, but I don't see a feasible alternative either. A lot of documentation out there assumes that an idea binary is available on your $PATH.

Unless someone has a better idea, I'll add the conflict with the next version.

It would be nice to add intellij-idea-community-edition as conflicting package

Since IntelliJ changed to the one IDEA approach. What is the benefit of this package compared to extra/intellij-idea-community-edition?

edit: except that one is bin and the other built from sources

@dcelasun speedy, thank you!
