Arch Linux User Repository

There's a version 0.6.0 already, at the time I'm writing this comment we have version 0.4.0 in AUR. Version 0.6.0 no longer depends on Java being installed on the system.

I'll leave the patch here, I don't know if there's a better way to do this...

Here is a workaround for file system monitoring. It should help to avoid pressing F5 for update.
