How to use OpenJDK 9 builds as alternative JRE
Hi, I wanted to try how our project runs with OpenJDK 9 as runtime environment. I downloaded the ea build from https://jdk9.java.net/download/, installed it (OS X 10.10) and chose it as alternative JRE for my run configuration but then got this error: "alternative jre path needs to point to a jre, not to a complete jdk installation" The problem is that the OpenJDK builds don't contain a jre folder. I tried to trick Idea by creating a jre-subdirectory and symlinking bin and lib dirs into that but that does not work. Anybody else got this to work somehow? Thanks in advance, Robert

Did you try to set it as your project JDK?
