Intellij does not start on Arch Linux anymore

Answered

I closed Intellij and since then it does not start anymore. Here is the log:

https://pastebin.com/jv4H0Cqw

 

I saw people saying that you need Java 8 installed. I installed it and set it as the default JDK with 'archlinux-java set java-8-openjdk'. Intellij still uses Java 11 as the log states. But it also has Java 11 as an dependency in the Arch repository.

 

How can I fix this?

Please share the java_error_in_*.log files from the user profile (home) folder.
If you don't see them, add -XX:ErrorFile=/tmp/java_error_%p.log into .vmoptions (https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/articles/206544869). Make sure the specified folder has write permissions. 
Also, please define if you noticed that the crash occurs after an exact action (display detaching, plugin update or so).

I believe the pastebin link in the original post is the contents of the file you are asking for. Its contents are similar to the java error file I had gotten.

 Me too! But I fixed by installing it from Jetbrains Toolbox! Try it!

@... The file you've attached is the system's crash dump, where I cannot identify the exact thread inside java program that causes the crash. 

 java_error_in_*.log files contain info about exact crashed thread, thus could be used to identify the exact problem.
