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

For me the above suggestions did not help for some reason. However, I did figure out that under Project Defaults > Project Structure (Welcome screen) my default Project SDK was set to the Go SDK.

What worked for me was setting this default SDK to the Java JDK.
