As a IDEasy user, I want to have start scripts generated for my IDEs so that I can just double click them to launch the IDE instead of opening a terminal and entering ide intellij or ide eclipse,...
This was a standard feature of devonfw-ide but seems to be missed out in IDEasy.
We do have the variable with defaults in our code:
|
VariableDefinitionStringList CREATE_START_SCRIPTS = new VariableDefinitionStringList("CREATE_START_SCRIPTS", "DEVON_CREATE_START_SCRIPTS"); |
However, it is not used anywhere.
It should be honoured by both ide create ... as well as by ide update.
Notice
This feature is not to be confused with topics like #366 #540 #832 that also use the term start script for IDE/tool but mean a script called intellij inside the software/intellij/bin folder to avoid that on windows we need to run idea64.exe and on linux idea.sh and on Mac idea - these are flaws from IDE tool vendors but in the end we gave up on this idea since we also need some backward compatibility with devonfw-ide.
This story here is talking about scripts inside $IDE_HOME like eclipse-main[.bat] or intellij-main[.bat] that I can double click without the need to open a bash terminal and entering CLI commands to launch my IDE in daily business.
