+# JetBrains Runtime (JBR)
+
+<link-summary>The IntelliJ Platform Gradle Plugin requires JetBrains Runtime (JBR), which can be provided in multiple ways.</link-summary>
+
+<include from="tools_intellij_platform_gradle_plugin.md" element-id="Beta_Status"/>
+<include from="tools_intellij_platform_gradle_plugin.md" element-id="faq"/>
+
+JetBrains Runtime (JBR) is a custom version of OpenJDK, specifically optimized for IntelliJ-based IDEs. It supports enhanced class redefinition (DCEVM), includes the Java Chromium Embedded Framework (JCEF), and improves aspects such as font rendering and keyboard support, thereby enhancing overall performance.
+IDEs built on the IntelliJ Platform rely on JBR for running.
+Hence, when developing plugins using the IntelliJ Platform Gradle Plugin, it's essential to have JBR provided.
+
+For the best experience, it is recommended to rely on JBR bundled with the IntelliJ Platform used for development.
+If one is not available, i.e., when targeting IntelliJ Platform snapshot or nightly releases, there are other ways available for providing JetBrains Runtime in a required version or variant.
+
+## Bundled (Default)
+
+IDE releases provided with JetBrains CDN (download.jetbrains.com) are OS-specific and contain JetBrains Runtime (JBR) already bundled within the archive.
+This is the recommended way for developing a plugin, as it comes in exactly the same version as JetBrains IDEs delivered to users.
+
+To use this approach, no extra steps are required but declare the IntelliJ Platform, see: [](tools_intellij_platform_gradle_plugin_dependencies_extension.md#target-platforms).
+
+## Obtained with IntelliJ Platform from Maven
+
+If the IntelliJ Platform is resolved with the IntelliJ Maven Repository, it has no JetBrains Runtime (JBR) bundled.
+In such a case, it is necessary to provide it in the suitable version with the version read from the <path>[intellijPlatform]/dependencies.txt</path> file.
+
+This can be easily achieved by using the `jetbrainsRuntime()` repository helper pointing to [JetBrains Runtime GitHub Releases](https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsRuntime/releases/) and dependency helper with no arguments provided:
+
+```kotlin
+repositories {
+  mavenCentral()
+  intellijPlatform {
+    defaultRepositories()
+    jetbrainsRuntime()
+    // ...
+  }
+}
+
+dependencies {
+  intellijPlatform {
+    intellijIdeaCommunity("%ijPlatform%")
+
+    jetbrainsRuntime()
+
+    // ...
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Declared Explicitly
+
+It is possible to explicitly specify JetBrains Runtime version, variant, or exact build with:
+
+```kotlin
+repositories {
+  mavenCentral()
+  intellijPlatform {
+    defaultRepositories()
+    jetbrainsRuntime()
+    // ...
+  }
+}
+
+dependencies {
+  intellijPlatform {
+    intellijIdeaCommunity("%ijPlatform%")
+
+    jetbrainsRuntime(version, variant, architecture)
+    // or
+    jetbrainsRuntimeExplicit(explicitVersion)
+
+    // ...
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Provided `version`, `variant`, and `architecture` parameters along with the `explicitVersion` are used to resolve the JetBrains Runtime archives published on [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsRuntime/releases/) page.
+
+To correctly understand the pattern, refer to the archive names in format:
+```
+jbr_[prefix]-[jdk]-[os]-[arch]-b[build].tar.gz
+```
+e.g.:
+```
+jbr_jcef-21.0.3-osx-aarch64-b446.1.tar.gz
+```
+which can be split into the following parts:
+
+- `prefix` = `jcef`
+- `jdk` = `21.0.3`
+- `os` = `osx`
+- `arch` = `aarch64`
+- `build` = `446.1`
+
+Note that the `version` parameter is actually a combination of JDK and build numbers in format `[jdk]b[build]`.
+
+To resolve the `jbr_jcef-21.0.3-osx-aarch64-b446.1.tar.gz` archive, you can use:
+- `jetbrainsRuntime("21.0.3b446.1", "osx", "aarch64")`
+- `jetbrainsRuntime("21.0.3b446.1")` (`os` and `architecture` are by default resolved with the current environment)
+- `jetbrainsRuntimeExplicit("jbr_jcef-21.0.3-osx-aarch64-b446.1")`
+
+See the [JetBrains Runtime releases page](https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsRuntime/releases) for the list of available releases.
+
+## Foojay Toolchains Plugin
+
+Since Gradle `8.4`, it is possible to specify JetBrains as a known JVM vendor and instruct Gradle to search for JetBrains Runtime within available toolchains (see [Toolchains for JVM projects](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/toolchains.html)).
+
+Along with the [Foojay Toolchains Plugin](https://github.com/gradle/foojay-toolchains), Gradle can resolve JetBrains Runtime from the remote repository if the suitable JVM is not present:
+
+<path>build.gradle.kts</path>
+```kotlin
+kotlin {
+  jvmToolchain {
+    languageVersion = JavaLanguageVersion.of(17)
+    vendor = JvmVendorSpec.JETBRAINS
+  }
+}
+```
+
+<path>settings.gradle.kts</path>
+```kotlin
+plugins {
+    id("org.gradle.toolchains.foojay-resolver-convention") version "..."
+}
+```
+
+Please note that the latest available JetBrains Runtime release is always resolved, which may lead to unexpected behaviors.
+
+## Project SDK
+
+When building or running a project directly from the IDE, it is possible to specify JetBrains Runtime in Project Settings as a Project SDK.
+
+Provided JBR will be eventually resolved and passed to Gradle tasks for running.
+However, this setting is ignored when running a project directly from the command line or CI.
