Cannot compile with Java 7 with EAP 2017.3
Answered
When I try to run anything in either of my two modules in my project that are built with Java 7, I get:
Error:java: Compilation failed: internal java compiler error
I don't know where to look to get more info on the error. The idea.log contains no info on the problem.
If I switch to JDK 8, all is well.

Check build.log, enable debug info: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/articles/207241085. Try reinstalling JDK.
Same issue here.
In my case I'm compiling with JDK 6. Switching to JDK 8 also seems to solve the problem.
Enabled the logs as per instructions but can't see much other than:
DEBUG - s.incremental.java.JavaBuilder - java:ERROR:Compilation failed: internal java compiler error
DEBUG - s.incremental.java.JavaBuilder - java:JPS_INFO:Errors occurred while compiling module 'web'
The messages build contains:
Information:3/10/17 3:13 PM - Compilation completed with 1 error and 5 warnings in 3s 601ms
Tried recreating the JDK 6 inside IntelliJ inside SDKs and still the same problem.
Looks like a bug and that it is (Hopefully) fixed in the EAP available now.

Thanks Adam - I can confirm that it is working for me on the latest EAP.
