Intellij Idea: Importing Gradle project - getting JAVA_HOME not defined yet


You need to setup a SDK for Java projects, like @rizzletang said, but you don't need to create a new project, you can do it from the Welcome screen.

On the bottom right, select Configure > Project Defaults > Project Structure:enter image description here

Picking the Project tab on the left will show that you have no SDK selected:

Just click the New... button on the right hand side of the dropdown and point it to your JDK. After that, you can go back to the import screen and it should just show up.


If you'd like to have your JAVA_HOME recognised by intellij, you can do one of these:

  • Start your intellij from terminal /Applications/IntelliJ IDEA 14.app/Contents/MacOS (this will pick your bash env variables)
  • Add login env variable by executing: launchctl setenv JAVA_HOME "/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_60.jdk/Contents/Home"

As others have answered you can ignore JAVA_HOME by setting up SDK in project structure.


For Windows Platform:

try Running the 64 Bit exe version of IntelliJ from a path similar to following.

note that it is available beside the default idea.exe

"C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA 15.0\bin\idea64.exe"
