this issue comes out when using java-8-openjdk

Jetbrain asked when i don't use a bundled jre, i said i'm directly using archlinux package. i think it could be a packaging issue so i report here

Additional info:
* pycharm-community-edition - 2017.3-1
* jdk{7,8,9}-openjdk installed

Steps to reproduce:
$ sudo archlinux-java set java-7-openjdk
$ pycharm

Well, yes you have to use a jre = 8. There's nothing I can do package-wise apart from printing a message. Forcing java-runtime = 8 doesn't prevent anyone from installing 7 or 9. Bundling theirs just adds bloat, but I can create a split package for those who still wish to use it.

Well, at the least you can pin the java-runtime dependency to 8, in order to ensure people actually have the right version installed, rather than having it completely absent from their system. This also makes it somewhat more apparent when viewing the package dependencies, that errors probably come from setting a default java that is different from what the package requires. You could also maybe use a wrapper script that first checks [[ "$(archlinux-java get)" = java-8-openjdk/jre ]] before continuing.

set dependency won't fix it. is it possible to add a wrapper script, set java runtime to newest and launch the app, and set it back after app is launched. i'm not a packager so i don't know much about your principles.

Our java runtime implementation sets a root-owned symlink, which cannot be changed by arbitrary users. OTOH setting PYCHARM_JDK=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk/jre/ should in theory work. That being said, I don't fully understand how all this Java works, and java-runtime-common has an install script warning that JAVA_HOME does not work so I could very well be missing something.

Setting the dep won't fix it, but it's the closest thing we've got

Just pushed 2017.3-2 that forces java-runtime=8. There is the possibility to symlink openjdk8 in pycharm's working directory as it would take precedence thanks to their startup script, but that would prevent anyone from using another runtime from AUR, jdk8 from Oracle, or openjdk8 with Jetbrains patches if they want font ligatures for example (jetbrains disables them with vanilla openjdk8 for "performance reasons").
