[Solved] Using CLion 2025.2.2 on Freebsd

Hello everyone,
I had some troubleshooting yesterday after installing CLion on FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE.
After installation, i had a window with Java-exceptions that prevented CLion to start.
I found this comment that suggested to delete the BOM (first bytes of the file) from /usr/local/share/jetbrains/clion/plugins/plugin-classpath.txt (Every editor set to UTF-8 without signature should work)
CLion was able to launch after this change.

I discovered that the plugin org.jetbrains.plugins.clion.radler crashed and was not able to be enabled. It turned out, that Nova is activated as default and that was the problem (Nova seems to be a work in progress under FreeBSD).

Uncheck the option "Use the ReSharper C++ language engine" in Settings -> Advanced Settings

After doing those 2 steps, CLion works as expected.

I hope I can help other people with this post.

Have a nice day !

Cheers,
Goldfluss
