Answer 1

Just to add completness to the above selected answer, one can also go the 'Project Setting' windows (if not on the Welcome screen) in IntelliJ IDEA by clicking:

File > Project Structure (Ctrl + Alt + Shift + S)

And can define Project SDK there!

Answer 2

Make sure you have a jdk setup. To do this, create a new project and then go to file -> project structure. From there you can add a new jdk. Once that is setup, go back to your gradle project and you should have a jdk to select in the 'Gradle JVM' field.

Answer 3

For MacOS this worked for me without the need to hardcode a particular Java version:

launchctl setenv JAVA_HOME "$(jenv javahome)"

Answer 4

Try starting IntelliJ from terminal. You can find application file under: /Applications/IntelliJ\ IDEA\ 14.app/Contents/MacOS

Answer 5

If you'd like to have your JAVA_HOME recognised by intellij, you can do one of these:

• Start your intellij from terminal /Applications/IntelliJ IDEA 14.app/Contents/MacOS (this will pick your bash env variables)
• Add login env variable by executing: launchctl setenv JAVA_HOME "/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_60.jdk/Contents/Home"

As others have answered you can ignore JAVA_HOME by setting up SDK in project structure.

Answer 6

For Windows Platform:

try Running the 64 Bit exe version of IntelliJ from a path similar to following.

note that it is available beside the default idea.exe

"C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA 15.0\bin\idea64.exe"
