Question

Could not determine Java version using executable C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk-10.0.1\\bin\\java.exe.

This error appeared when I tried to create a new project in Int

Answer 1

Solution summary:

• Turn back to older version of jdk
• Remove problematic jdk(s) from intelliJ

A full demonstration is given below for intelliJ in ubuntu 18.04.1

fig1: Installing openjdk-8.

fig2: Adding jdk8 to Project Structure. Click + button then choose JDK. Now choose JDK home path to jdk8. Mine was, as you can see from fig3, /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64

fig3: openjdk-8 is added to intelliJ. [a:] Time to remove newer versions of jdk from intelliJ.

fig4: Select 10 (notice that the JDK home path contains java-1.11.0-openjdk-amd64) and press - button to remove 10.

fig5: after removal of jdk-10 select jdk-8(named 1.8 in fig5) and press ok.

fig6: Now go to File->Settings->Build, Execution, Deployment->Build tools->Gradle->Gradle JVM and choose the same path that you have set as JDK home path while adding 1.8 in Project Structure and press Ok. Click Build and choose Make new module app and the app module should be created. Now if pressing Run and choosing app module gets your app running, you have a good day :) and if not, recheck activities mentioned in fig3[a] & fig6 once.
