Hi, no need to CC me. I'm subcribed to debian-java. On Fri, 04. Mar 08:23 toogley@mailbox.org wrote: > Hey, > > > Probably you don't have to package the whole IntelliJ IDE.

Then you can use for instance mvnrepository.com and search for jar files, group ids or artifacts. http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.intellij/annotations Not all IntelliJ parts are packaged as Maven artifacts though. Also I would recommend to package releases from https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/releases A tarball release is a well defined snapshot and it is usually much simpler to track those releases. I don't know if they provide separate repositories / release tarballs for their subprojects but I wouldn't go for writing my own build scripts unless there is really no alternative. The maintenance burden will increase over time and at some time people will stop rewriting the scripts whenever upstream changes something. Try to avoid that. Regards, Markus
