It is their technical mirror, containing the same files as their promoted links. But using that will allow some users in some regions to avoid limitations of downloading their products (such as 451 error).

Simplify for whom, exactly? Both of those resolve to AWS CDN domains, so it's not clear why one would be preferable over the other. The links offered on JetBrains' website are using download.jetbrains.com

@Zrax Can you please change the source urls from https://download.jetbrains.com/... to https://download-cf.jetbrains.com/...? This will simplify downloading.

@Zrax Sorry for the slow reply, I was sick.

I see, you are talking about this commit: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=clion-eap&id=ec297916 where the maintainer added this prefix.

I still think it makes sense to remove this "jetbrains-" prefix. It is very uncommon. Maintainers for example do not do "oracle-virtualbox.desktop", but they do "virtualbox.desktop". And as a user, I would search for "^clion" (which I actually did, and then realized that it is with prefix).

Regarding the context of this prefix, I only guess that it may be the thing that when you try to generate desktop file from within IDE (from main menu: Tools | Create Desktop Entry), it creates it with such prefix. But this is irrelevant, and not clashing with our file, because we provide a file (so user do not need this menu anyway), and if you "edit" the app (in KDE this is right mouse click, Edit Application), then the normal desktop file is stored in the ~/.local/share/applications/.

@Ashark: I don't really have a strong opinion one way or the other about it... The name change (from clion-eap.desktop to jetbrains-clion-eap.desktop) was originally done by the previous maintainer (@rdoursenaud) about 10 years ago, but I have no context about why.

Looking at some of the other Jetbrains IDE packages, it's already somewhat inconsistent. For example, pycharm and rider install .desktop files without the jetbrains- prefix, but goland, webstorm, and rustrover all do use the prefix...

@Zrax Thanks for the update, but what about file name? Not such a big deal, but still would be good to have it as expected.

Hi Zrax!
Is there any specific reason to have "jetbrains-" prefix in the /usr/share/applications/jetbrains-clion-eap.desktop file name?
Can we name is just normally as /usr/share/applications/clion-eap.desktop?
I was configuring jetbrains runner, and found this abnormal file name.

Yes, perhaps I was too quick to react. I've reverted the change in the latest version, and added a note on the java-runtime dependency to link to the JetBrains documentation on using an external JRE.
