The JDK path might change when you update JAVA. For Mac you should go to the following path to check the JAVA version installed.

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/

Next, say JDK version that you find is jdk1.8.0_151.jdk, the path to home directory within it is the JDK home path.

In my case it was :

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_151.jdk/Contents/Home

You can configure it by going to File -> Project Structure -> SDKs.

Quite late to this party  today I had the same problem  The right answer on macOs I think is use jenv brew install jenv openjdk 11 jenv add  usr local opt openjdk 11  And then add into Intellij IDEA as new SDK the following path     jenv versions 11 libexec openjdk jdk Contents Home

If you are on Mac OS X or Ubuntu  the problem is caused by the symlinks to the JDK  File   Invalidate Caches should help  If it doesn t  specify the JDK path to the direct JDK Home folder  not a symlink   Invalidate Caches menu item is available under IntelliJ IDEA File menu   Direct JDK path after the recent Apple Java update is    System Library Java JavaVirtualMachines 1 6 0 jdk Contents Home   In IDEA you can configure the new JSDK in File   Project Structure  select SDKs on the left  then press     button  then specify the above JDK home path  you should get something like this

Just tried this recently and when trying to select the JDK     System Library Java JavaVirtualMachines  appears as empty when opening amp selecting through IntelliJ  Therefore i couldn t select the JDK     I ve found that to workaround this  when the finder windows open  pressing     JDK  just use the shortcut Shift   CMD   G to specify the path    System Library Java JavaVirtualMachines 1 6 0 jdk in my case    And voila  IntelliJ can find everything from that point on
