Answer 1

On OSX 10.12.x, Intellij v16.3, I had to go into:

1. ~/Library/Preferences/IntelliJIdea2016.3
2. Create a file called: idea.jdk
3. Add the following to it: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_65.jdk (or whatever JDK you have installed

This was a fix I've had to do in v16 of Intellij found on jetbrains site. At one point I had to remove it, on the upgrade to 16.3 I had to add it back. https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/206544879-Selecting-the-JDK-version-the-IDE-will-run-under
