I just installed intellij-idea-community-edition from the AUR and got:

WARNING:
  Running IntelliJ IDEA using OpenJDK is officially unsupported
  because of possible performance and graphics problems

This warning in the end is exactly what I want to avoid since I installed intellij IDEA manually just before and got a lot of graphic issues.

I installed jdk7-compat from the AUR to get OracleJDK (just before installing intellij-idea-community-edition) but apparently, it's using OpenJDK by default.

How can I tell intellij IDEA to use OracleJDK instead?

Set the IDEA_JDK environment variable (it's like JAVA_HOME but IDEA specific).

toogy · 2014-05-20 15:36:30

So,

export IDEA_JDK="/opt/java7/"

?

Stebalien · 2014-05-20 15:39:17

Yes. Although you'll probably want to put that in your bashrc/profile etc. to persist it.

toogy · 2014-05-20 15:47:22

Ok, I put " export IDEA_JDK='/opt/java7/' " in my ~/.zshrc and sourced it.

Just runned idea.sh but I still have the rendering issues. How do I know if Intellij IDEA is using the correct JDK or not?

Stebalien · 2014-05-20 15:56:42

ps -eF|grep java

If by rendering issues you mean that windows become unresponsive/blanked out when switching focus... join the club (also, what window manager are you using).

How did you launch IDEA? I'm guessing that it isn't picking up that environment variable. Does `IDEA_JDK=/opt/java7 idea.sh` work? If so, you'll probably want to set that variable in a '/etc/profile.d/' script. ~/.zshrc is only sourced by interactive zsh instances so your DE (probably) won't pick up any environment variables you set there. See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/En … _Variables

Hmm, weird. I used to run IDEA with OpenJDK and things were just fine.

Launching with `IDEA_JDK=/opt/java7 idea.sh' works. My graphic issues disappear and it's correctly using OracleJDK.

I added `export IDEA_JDK=/opt/java7' in my ~/.xinitrc and it works now. Thank you Stebalien@

It's probably because we don't have the same hardware, drivers...
