Run ideasy with a Run Config that runs ide gui
You now should be able to see a status text in the bottom right corner, saying "IDEasy is ready."
Ensure, that at least two of the IDEs shown in the GUI is NOT installed on your system/project.
With the IDE that is not installed, click on "Open". Now you should see a progress bar in the bottom right corner and the download progress on the label.
When downloading two IDEs at the same time, you should see a "2 tasks running..." status that allows you to click the status text, opening a window with a list of all running tasks.

Great job, the progress bars are a really nice addition. They give the user clear feedback instead of just waiting without knowing what is happening 👍I left a few notices.

KarimALotfy · 2026-06-17T14:36:14Z

I am not sure if this only happens on my side, but the progress bars were only shown when I started the GUI via AppLauncher, not when using the gui commandlet.

Oh ok! Good to know! Did you see something like a status text? Maybe let's take this out of the release then.

laim2003 · 2026-06-17T18:48:56Z

I also figured that it seems like sometimes things that work via AppLauncher don't work when launched via the Commandlet...

KarimALotfy · 2026-06-17T21:30:53Z

Small suggestion: I noticed that the task window stays open even after multiple tasks are finished.

Once the IDE(s) are downloaded, extracted, and launched successfully, it would be nice if the task/progress window closed automatically.
