My main annoyance right now with IDEA is this bug. I can not imagine it being hard to fix.

What happens is if you run IDEA on a machine that uses a linux 2.6 kernel, IDEA simply refueses to copy files.

So when you start up and IDEA wants to copy over all the jar files it horks out an error message for each one. This you can kind of fix by appending the following to your idea.lax file’s lax.nl.java.option.additional property:

-Didea.jars.nocopy=true

But there doesnt seem to be a fix for the more annoying problem, where it refuses to copy over system resources from your source classpath to your build classpath.

Please investigate and fix. I and Im sure others are willing to help out here if you want.
