What's the reason for “Error:Cannot determine Java VM executable in selected JDK”?

Question

I am using IntelliJ IDEA 13.1.4 and also tried the latest release 14.

Running SBT I get the following error:

Error:Cannot determine Java VM executable in         


        

Answer 1

Another way to set JDK is from your current module/project settings (for your current project)

PickOpen Module Settings from project context menu (or default hit F4),
then from left tab select Project and point correct Project SDK on dropdown.
