I am using IntelliJ IDEA 10. Every time when I create a new project, it is asking me to choose JDK for this project. Anyone know how I can configure it and make it easy to use?
This question is related to
macos
intellij-idea
The answer is
On Mac IntelliJ Idea 12 has it's preferences/keymaps placed here: ./Users/viliuskraujutis/Library/Preferences/IdeaIC12/keymaps/
Just tried this recently and when trying to select the JDK... /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/ appears as empty when opening&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.
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/
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.
