Is it possible to run IntelliJ without using its .exe binaries? (Windows)

Answered

Can I run IntelliJ Ultimate via the java command line? I cannot run idea.exe because of company policy, however I found that I can run IntelliJ with

java -cp lib/*; com.intellij.idea.Main

I can create a project however it will not start up any further (to actually show the editor) as it complains about being unable to start a debugger or something. I am assuming I am missing certain things. Is it possible to run IntelliJ this way? Because I really don't want to use another IDE!

Have you tried using idea.bat file? You can try to launch it or inspect it for the full command line that is executed when starting the IDE.
