IntelliJ CE icon shows "EAP" when using stable update channel - intellij-idea

UPDATE
The bug mentioned in #s0xzwasd's answer has now been fixed in Ij 2020.3.01
Original
Today I updated to Intellij CE 2020.3 (IC-203.5981.155), and the icon in my dock displays like so:
I would assume EAP stands for Early Access Program, but have I chosen (or rather chosen not to leave) the stable update channel, and have never had an EA version of Intellij or any Jetbrains IDE on my computer. Why does the icon display like it does?
More info:
I am using a MacBook Pro running macOS Catalina version 10.15.7 (19H15).

Please follow IDEA-256564 to stay updated. It's already fixed and should be available in the next update.

Why isn't my Intellij IDE opening properly

I am running OSX version 10.9.5 and IntelliJ version 2019.2.3(IC-192.6817.14). When I open my IntelliJ IDE, I don't see the editor
This is all I can see. Can anyone help me to fix it?
As per official documentation 2019.2 requires macOS 10.11 or later.
Officially released 64-bit versions of the following:
Microsoft Windows 7 SP1 or later
macOS 10.11 or later
Any Linux distribution that supports Gnome, KDE, or Unity DE
Pre-release versions are not supported.
Ref: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/installation-guide.html#requirements
I recommend you install the official Jetbrains Toolbox to handle installation/upgrade of your IDE(s). I (hope) it is aware of OS limitations and won't propose you upgrade to something non-functional. What it definitely does do is to rollback to an earlier installation with a single click.
Toolbox will detect and handle your existing manual installation so there's no penalty to installing it right now and seeing what options it gives (e.g. 2019.2.4 is out maybe incompatible as other answer hints or may be some bug is fixed!)

Datastax DevCenter freezes on startup

Just installed (copied over the app from the downloaded dmg) DevCenter 1.6 on my mac, running macOs Sierra 10.12.6 with jdk 8u152 installed. The application loads a UI (splash screen then a couple of checkboxes in a window for getting started) but the UI is frozen (with the splash screen still there). No response to mouse clicks or keyboard. Also can't click on the app name in the menu bar. The app however is not labeled "Not responding" by activity monitor.
So far I've tried -
Looking at the logs both in the app folder and in ~/.devcenter. Nothing fishy there
Running the app from a different user account - same issue there
Deleting all datastax and devcenter related files (searched by name) on my machine and fresh start - still the same issue
any ideas what I could do here?
I was running DevCenter on a previous mac with the same config / os version but a slightly older JDK, never had issues then.
On OSX, you can specify which version of Java DevCenter uses so that you do not need to downgrade your global Java version.
Right-click on Devcenter.app
Click "show package contents"
Open Contents/info.plist
At the bottom of the file, there's an Eclipse key with lines commented out explaining how to specify the version of Java. Uncomment the line and specify the version of Java that you want DevCenter to use.
Save & Re-launch DevCenter
The updated info.plist file should look something like this:
<key>Eclipse</key>
<array>
<string>-vm</string><string>/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java</string>
</array>
I reached out to someone at Datastax and learnt that complaints have surfaced about this behavior when using DevCenter with jdk 8u152.
For now, I've downgraded to jdk 8u151 and that fixes the issue.
Without downgrade the Java version
Scenario
I couldn't create any connection and press buttons and everything was frozen; Changing the swt plugin in the DevCenter plugin folder worked. This was my configuration:
DevCenter version DevCenter-1.6.0-macosx-x86_64
Mac OSX version 10.14.6
JDK Version jdk1.8.0_231.jdk
Steps to fix it
From here download the version 3.108.0. (This version works for me)
Rename the file downloaded as swt.jar (short name)
[Optionally] create a backup of the current swt plugin jar of the DevCenter
cp DevCenter/DevCenter.app/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.cocoa.macosx.x86_64_3.103.2.v20150203-1351.jar ~/Desktop
Replace the plugin with the swt.jar downloaded
mv swt.jar DevCenter/DevCenter.app/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.cocoa.macosx.x86_64_3.103.2.v20150203-1351.jar
Startup DevCenter
Finally it worked

Navigate | Class or File popup closes immediately in IntelliJ IDEA 2017.2

I'm having a annoying problem since I update IntelliJ IDEA Community to this version:
IntelliJ IDEA 2017.2
Build #IC-172.3317.76, built on July 15, 2017
JRE: 1.8.0_152-release-915-b5 amd64
JVM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o
Linux 4.8.0-53-generic
There is a problem with "Main Menu/Navigate/Class" action. When a trigger this action using keyboard shortcut or menu access, most of time the "Enter class name" window is showed, but closes immediately.
Sometimes the action works ok, but most of time, not.
I'm using linux Mint 18.2 (Cinnamon).
It's a known issue, please follow it here for updates:
IDEA-173000 Navigate | File and Class popups disappear
Workaround (add the following via Help | Edit Custom VM Options):
-DactionSystem.xWindow.remove.focus.from.nonFocusable.popups=false
Downgrading to 2017.1 version is another option.
UPDATE: the issue is resolved in 2017.2.3 release.
According to the release notes it's fixed in the latest release - 2017.2.3 (build number IU-172.3968.16) - 173000 is in the list: https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/IDEADEV/IntelliJ+IDEA+2017.2.3+Release+Notes?fromIDE
What ultimately worked for me was adding -Dfocus.follows.mouse.workarounds=true to my custom VM options (Help > Edit Custom VM Options).
I found this in https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-173000, mentioned above.
I use a tiling window manager (i3) which I suspect is related.

How can I update IntelliJ IDEA?

I am running IntelliJ IDEA 11.0 on Mac OS X. I know it has an update 11.0.1.
But when I used Check for update, it said I am already running the latest version.
Please tell me how can I upgrade to version 11.0.1?
Thank you.
Probably you have a connection problem or your proxy/firewall blocks IDEA access to the site where it checks for updates.
I've tried it on my Mac and Windows machines and it works fine:
In any case, you can just download and install the complete version from .dmg file. Your license, settings and plugins will be preserved and the old version can be moved to Trash.
Open intellij-idea -> go to top menu bar -> Help -> Check for Updates

IntelliJ can't use more than 1950MB of RAM after upgrade to Snow Leopard

I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and it seems IntelliJ can't start with memory greater than
-Xmx1950m. The icon bounces in the dock, but nothing comes up.
My guess would be that it's trying to use a 32-bit version of Java, but everything seems correct. Did anybody run into this when upgrading?
echo $JAVA_HOME
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home
Are you sure that it's not set to run in 32-bit mode?
Another possible case if you had modified Info.plist manually and updated to 10.0.2 via patch, the file was not updated to the new version which can run in 64-bit mode.
Reinstalling IntelliJ fixed the problem. My guess is that something was wrong in the IntelliJ's info.plist.
