Hello Andrew,

Add lib/tools.jar from the JDK installation to the JDK classpath.

I'm fairly new to Java and IntelliJ.

I was working on a project for a while that was completed and then I
somewhat forgot about it.

I was asked to make some changes a couple months later, but at this
point I was using a new computer.

I then proceeded to download the latest version of IntelliJ. I
downloaded all the source from our CVS (which should be 100% working.)
I get this error when I attempt to compile it.

I think it has to do with not having setup IntelliJ correctly... Any
ideas?

Oops, too fast...
The problem most probably is your JDK configuration points to JRE installation
actually. Should point to JDK

Hello Andrew,

Add lib/tools.jar from the JDK installation to the JDK classpath.

Looks like this took care of the problem.
Thanks Maxim!
