Open Java applications fail silently on OS X Mavericks

Question

When opening Intelli J or Android Studio after the Mavericks update nothing happens, fails silently.

Java and javac all work from the command line.

In my case I saw a similar error but with different error code:

LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed for the application /Applications/IntelliJ IDEA 13 CE.app with error -10810.

This worked for me: just edit the file /Applications/IntelliJ\ IDEA\ 13\ CE.app/Contents/Info.plist and change the key field JVMVersion from 1.6* to 1.7*.

My stack:

• IntelliJ IDEA 13 CE
• java version "1.7.0_51"
• OS X 10.9.1
