IntelliJ 10.5 ClassNotFoundException -XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio=70

Hello eqbal,

You have incorrectly edited the idea.sh file. As far as I can see, the character
before "XX" is an em dash, not a simple dash character, and the JVM can't
interpret it as a valid option name.

The simplest way to get IntelliJ to working condition is to delete the installation
and unpack it from the distribution archive again.

I am having trouble starting Intellij. I get the following exception
when running idea.sh on ubuntu 10.10 64bit.

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0-b16, mixed mode)
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
–XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio=70
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: –XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio=70

Could not find the main class: –XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio=70.  Program will
exit.
I had been able to start this before.
