Today we released Ubuntu Make 0.4.1 which validates the application menu support for some java application using swing (like Intellij, Android Studio…) and fixes Intellij IDEA support.
Vertical screen estate is particularly valuable for developers, to maximize the place where you can visualize your code and not bother too much about the shell itself. Also, in complex menu structure, it can be hard to find the relevant items. Unity introduced a while back (2010!) the excellent application menu and then grows the HUD support to search through those menus. We even got recently new options for menu integration without renouncing on those principles. However, until now, some java-based IDEs didn't get default appmenu and HUD support. It was time to get that fixed with our Ubuntu Loves Developers focus!
The application menu support is installed by default on Ubuntu Vivid thanks to our work with jayatana 's excellent contributor Dan Jared ! We did some cleaning and worked with him to get jayatana into ubuntu vivid, and then, promote it on the Ubuntu Desktop image ] . On older releases, we pushed jayatana into the Ubuntu Make ppa and every new install through that tool will install as well this support as needed.
We also saw jetbrains .. cntd
