intellij idea ultimate edition - various problems (esp. fcitx IME)

I have the following problems, as also mentioned in https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/intel … ent-638894 :

- I am unable to type devanagari characters using the fcitx IME package. However, another arch linux user confirms that he is able to use fcitx IME package for that purpose just fine on https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm … y-edition/ (ref thread - https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sanskri … hGGbfBQAJ).

- Also, I cannot sync settings with the settings repository anymore. I get - "Could not initialize class com.intellij.credentialStore.kdbx.KdbxKt" (Invalidating cache and restarting did not help.)

- Also, the System Settings -> Passwords screen never loads.

$ sudo pacman -Qq | grep java

[vvasuki@vvasuki-1803:~] 2018-03-22 07:34:41
$ archlinux-java status
Available Java environments:
  java-9-jdk (default)
```

Any ideas?

If you are using the bundled -jre (i.e. have the intellij-idea-ultimate-edition-jre package installed as well) try to remove that, so that the system jdk is being used.

And you might also want to switch your default jdk to java 8 since java 9 contains a few invasive changes that are known to break IDEs.

Thanks for the tips!

- Switching to java 8 seems to have solved the "System Settings -> Passwords screen never loads" issue and the "cannot sync settings with the settings repository anymore" issue.

- "I am unable to type devanagari characters using the fcitx IME package." remains a problem.
