Details

Under certain circumstances, the x86 version of the fsnotifier executable may be required in an x86_64 environment.
For example, when a 32-bit JDK is used to run IntelliJ, which is my case.
If fsnotifier is missing, IntelliJ shows the warning "External file changes sync may be slow: Native file watcher executable not found". This can be easily worked around by manually downloading fsnotifier from https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/blob/master/bin/linux/fsnotifier, but I guess it wouldn't harm anyone to include it in the official package.

Thank you very much.

I'm not really sure why you need a 32-bit jdk, especially as we don't officially provide one. Though it appears to be a rather small executable so I guess it wouldn't hurt. I guess we'll see what the maintainers think.

I could certainly live without it but I prefer using the 32-bit JDK because it consumes less RAM. This is particularly useful for low-end computers.
Thanks.
