That was reverted. There is a clion-jre package.

Is it possible to have a separate package for JBR, so that all the *-jre packages just symlink to that? Currently, by default, if you install multiple JetBrains IDEs using your wonderful AUR packages, they each bundle the same JBR files again.

After installation i get below error even if I have java-runtime installed.

IMO the build() function should be renamed to prepare() and the full path in the .desktop file is unnecessary, since it is the default.

@munir0b0t: AFAIK it should take seconds, or maybe minutes. It's not actually building anything, just repackaging binaries into a pacman pkg.

I have however disabled compression of the packages in makepkg.conf because I don't use that much AUR packages so I'd rather have the speed instead of the disk usage.

Maybe the downloading is taking long?

How long does this package take to build typically? I have a decent enough system (8 cores, 8 GB RAM, 16 GB swap) and the package takes upwards of an hour to build with yay -Syu. Trying to figure out if that is expected or something's wrong with my system. Most of the time is spent compressing the package and in the rsync command.

It seems some of those tools don't handle conditional dependencies very well... I've reverted the change to JRE bundling, and added a comment on the java-runtime dependency to point users to the JetBrains documentation around using an external JRE instead.
