Details

Description:
"idea" is a very ambiguous binary name for anything. Especially if you have multiple IDE's in place.
Would be nice if perhaps this binary was named "intellij" as the product suggests?

Patch that so it says `intellij` instead. Less risk of a conflict.
This task depends upon

... Forgot to give this a summary. Apologies.

Well thats the short name for the editor upstream chose.
You can see that be several references and also by the name chosen for the url at https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/
As well as the tarballs named idea-IC
As well as the official startup script in idea-IC-192.6262.58/bin/idea.sh

Calling it anything else would be missleading

@Levente: Fair enough, I'm not a massive fan of Java to begin with so it's rare that I do use this IDE. But the times I do it's always a gamble what the binary names was, and I checked the PKGBUILD and it said it move-renames idea.sh so I figured, maybe it's a Arch Linux specific PKGBUILD thing. Sent a message to intellij - hoping for the best (an alias at least).

I see, feel free to re-open if upstream moves anything in that direction. Until then i close this as upstream.
