Comment:
Other IDEs link jbr to own directory. @andrasi-istvan, please check if it works for idea too.

Hi!

Thanks for pointing that out.  This package however is a JDK, not an IDE, so let me explain the whole situation.

In order to run a JetBrains IDE, I need a JDK. I for example installed both `openjdk8` and `openjdk11`. The JDK packages install profile scripts:
~~~
> cat /etc/profile.d/10_openjdk11.sh
export JAVA_HOME=${JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/openjdk11}
> cat /etc/profile.d/10_openjdk8.sh
export JAVA_HOME=${JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8-openjdk}
~~~
Note that `10_openjdk8.sh` will override `10_openjdk11`, and IDEA picks up `JAVA_HOME`:
~~~
> cat ./bin/idea.sh
[...]
# Locate a JDK installation directory command -v will be used to run the IDE.
# Try (in order): IDEA_JDK, idea.jdk, ./jbr, ./jre64, JDK_HOME, JAVA_HOME, "java" in PATH.
[...]
~~~

As this package is also a JDK, I followed the same pattern, but instead of `JAVA_HOME` I choose `IDEA_JDK`, because I think most people would installs this package, expects the JetBrains JDK to be use by the IDEs, but not expect every java tool to use it

Comment:
Regarding other IDE packages: They create a symlink, which will be a dangling reference unless the JetBrains SDK is installed, and when that link becomes alive, the IDE will use it because of the precedence in the start script. This link however will break if this package changes the target directory from `/usr/lib/jvm/jbrsdk` to e.g. `/usr/lib/jvm/jetbrains-jdk`. But if you look at it, the link serves the same purpose as the `IDEA_JDK` variable, while the latter is more robust.

Ok, the point about defining location of jbr by jbr, not its clients makes sense.
@2asoft, how do you like it?

I think that's a great idea! Certainly seems more robust.

I have had trouble with pointing IDEA at the JDK, because it expects to be
looking at a slightly different subdirectory than their other IDEs.
So we'll need to test this out before merging changes to the IDE packages,
but the jbr change can be done now.

Thanks for making this better!

Re: [PR PATCH] [Merged]: jetbrains-jdk-bin: add profile script to set 'IDEA_JDK'

[Chocimier]

There's a merged pull request on the void-packages repository

jetbrains-jdk-bin: add profile script to set 'IDEA_JDK'
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/20175

Description:
Hi!

I think it is reasonable for this package to configure `IDEA_JDK` to point to the newly installed JDK. This env var is picked up by IDEA (before checking `JAVA_HOME`), and I don't expect others to read it.

What do you think?
