Getting Sources

macOS, Linux

git config --global core.autocrlf input
git clone [email protected]:JetBrains/JetBrainsRuntime.git

Windows

git config --global core.autocrlf false
git clone [email protected]:JetBrains/JetBrainsRuntime.git

Configuring the Build Environment

Here are quick per-platform instructions for those who can't wait to get started. Please refer to OpenJDK build docs for in-depth coverage of all the details.

TIP: To get a preliminary report of what's missing, run ./configure and check its output. It would usually have a meaningful advice on how to solve the problem.

Linux (Docker)

Create a container:

$ cd jb/project/docker
$ docker build .
...
Successfully built 942ea9900054

Run these commands in the new container:

$ docker run -v `pwd`../../../../:/JetBrainsRuntime -it 942ea9900054
# cd /JetBrainsRuntime
# sh ./configure
# make images CONF=linux-x86_64-normal-server-release

Ubuntu Linux

Install the necessary tools, libraries, and headers with:

$ sudo apt-get install autoconf make build-essential libx11-dev libxext-dev libxrender-dev libxtst-dev \
       libxt-dev libxrandr-dev libcups2-dev libfontconfig1-dev libasound2-dev \
       openjdk-11-jdk

Then run the following:

$ cd JetBrainsRuntime
$ sh ./configure --disable-warnings-as-errors
$ make images

Windows

Install the following:

• Cygwin x64. Required packages: autoconf, binutils, cpio, diffutils, file, gawk, gcc-core, make, m4, unzip, zip.
  Install those together with Cygwin.
• Visual Studio compiler toolset. Install with the desktop development kit, which includes Windows SDK and compilers. Visual Studio 2015 is supported by default.
• Java 11. If you have problems while configuring, read Java tips on Cygwin.

From the command line:

"c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 15.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" amd64
c:\cygwin64\bin\mintty.exe /usr/bin/bash -l

The first command sets up environment variables, the second starts a Cygwin shell with the proper environment.

In the Cygwin shell:

$ cd JetBrainsRuntime
$ bash configure --enable-option-checking=fatal --with-toolchain-version=2015 \
                 --with-boot-jdk="/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Java/jdk-11.0.5" --disable-warnings-as-errors
$ make images

macOS

Install the following:

• Xcode command line developer tools and autoconf via Homebrew.
• Java 11.

From the command line:

$ cd JetBrainsRuntime
$ sh ./configure --prefix=$(pwd)/build  --disable-warnings-as-errors
$ make images

Developing

You can use CLion to develop native parts of the JetBrains Runtime and IntelliJ IDEA for the parts written in Java. Both require projects to be created.

CLion

Run

$ make compile-commands

in the git root and open the resulting build/.../compile_commands.json file as a project. Then use Tools | Compilation Database | Change Project Root to point to git root of this repository.

See also this detailed step-by-step tutorial for all platforms: How to develop OpenJDK with CLion.

IDEA

Run

$ sh ./bin/idea.sh

in the git root to generate project files (add --help for options). Then open the git root directory as a project in IDEA.
