Build 3311 - cannot start using idea.exe
when starting using idea.exe IDEA complains that JAVA_HOME
does not point to a JDK directory, but rather to a JRE,
which in my case is certainly not correct.
Is there any way to set whatever environment correctly
in idea.exe.vmoptions?
Cheers,
Bonny

Yeah... I'm having the same problem. I had to start using idea.bat
It happend to me too because I was using old IDEA.EXE - the one which uses
LAX file. The problem is tools.jar is not in class path I changed JVM to
point to java/bin not in java/jre/bin and everything works
lax.nl.current.vm=c:
java
jdk15
bin
java.exe

didn't work for me either ;-(
I fiddled around with environment variables but with no luck.
idea.bat works, however.
I also suggest that they include a "jdk" property in the idea.exe.vmoptions file. It's much easier than having to tweak environment variables under Windows.
As a matter of fact, I've written a Java launcher myself not so long ago, and this is how I'm doing it:
- you can either specify a path to the JDK
- or you can sepcify the desired version (1.5, 1.4) and the launcher retrieves the actual path from the Windows registry
