Intellij JAVA_HOME variable

Question

I started using Gradle and Intellij but I am having problems to configure Gradle\'s JVM. When I start a new Gradle project I am not allowed to define JVM as my JAVA_HOME variabl

Answer 1

In my case I needed a lower JRE, so I had to tell IntelliJ to use a different one in "Platform Settings"

• Platform Settings > SDKs ( ⌘+; )
• Click the + button to add a new SDK (or rename and load an existing one)
• Choose the /Contents/Home directory from the appropriate SDK
  (i.e. /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home)
