I want to try Intellij Idea Community Edition for their groovy support. Although it is not officially support, I downloaded the linux binary and uncompressed it to /usr/local/share/java. I used openjdk 7 and I decided to export JDK_HOME environmental variable pointing to my JAVA_HOME location, as it seems Idea tries to guess that value unsuccessfully.
I experienced problems with my favourite window manager, XMonad, and because I was unable to fix it, incapacity to enter text, I moved temporary to Enlightenment which does not show that disgusting behaviour. It seems that issue can be solved using xmonad module ICCCMFocus, but it isn’t packaged for FreeBSD yet.
UPDATE: Swing Java reported issue with Xmonad here.
