Ok, stupid question but here it is - how do I update IntelliJ to 9.0.1? I went to file-settings-updates, downloaded the 9.0.1 update and it created a file in my /tmp directory called jetbrains.patch.jar.Idea. I’ve tried a variety of things and many searches but cannot figure out how to apply the update.

William, same here in both Windows and Linux. It appears to download something but when it restarts, nothing changes. I had to upgrade using the full installer.

Anybody figure out what to do with jetbrains.patch.jar.Idea yet?

Hi, Here’s what I found out. etbrains.patch.jar.Idea is actually a jar file. I renamed downloaded file and after some trial error experiments found this: java -cp jetbrains.patch.jar com.intellij.updater.Runner install /home/tarvo/Apps/idea-IC-93.13/
This patched intellij.

It works with 9.0.3 as well! This should be documented under HOW-TO’s for quick reference
