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

I got the same problem after I delete Java1.6 and Java1.7 from Project Settings(with Java8 as default).

Finally I solve the problem by change SBT JVM config to Custom Java(Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Build Tools -> SBT).
