JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA Community

IntelliJ IDEA Community is a fully-fledged commercial IDE for the JVM platform.

IntelliJ IDEA provides all the tools you need for productive enterprise, Web, and mobile development. The IDE supports Java, Groovy, Kotlin, Scala, Android, JavaScript, SQL and lots of other languages and frameworks. It offers instant and clever code completion, on-the-fly code analysis and reliable refactoring tools.

Build, Install and Run Flatpak (locally)

Assuming flatpak, flatpak-builder, and git are installed, then execute the following commands:

$ git clone https://github.com/flathub/com.jetbrains.IntelliJ-IDEA-Community.git
$ cd com.jetbrains.IntelliJ-IDEA-Community/
$ flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists --user flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
$ flatpak-builder build --force-clean --install-deps-from=flathub --install --user com.jetbrains.IntelliJ-IDEA-Community.yaml

# ...to uninstall the artifact
$ flatpak uninstall --delete-data --user com.jetbrains.IntelliJ-IDEA-Community

# ...and to clean-up everything
$ rm --force --recursive .flatpak-builder/ build/
$ flatpak uninstall --unused --user
$ flatpak remote-delete --user flathub

Permissions

This application requests the following permissions:

• device=all because there are plugins that use the camera, people develop for certain controllers, etc.

• filesystems=host because you can have anything installed in your system and would like to be able to use it as before

• sockets=ssh-auth because (ideally) most developers use git using the Secure Shell Protocol

The rest are hopefully innocent or obvious enough to not require explanation!

Restricting the default permissions

When using Flatseal or flatpak override to restrict the default filesystem access, it is recommended to add .java as persistent (--persist) to avoid accepting the license for each launch.
