IntelliJ IDEA help..

Hello Yazan,

Unfortunately this guide is for IntelliJ IDEA version 4.5, which is older
than the version that you have. To setup a JDK, you need to download and
install the JDK from java.sun.com (if you haven't already done so), go to
Project Settings | JDKs, press the button and select the directory where
the JDK is installed. Then you need to select this JDK as the JDK for the
project in Project Settings.

Well , i have found a guide which is "Setting up Generic's suppot"
http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/docs/help/generics/setup.html#manual

When i reached to the part which says
"Tools | Set Up JSR-014 Implementation...."
I go to Tools and i dont find Set Up JSR-014 Implementation.
So i try and use the Manual guide and when i came to the part which
says
"File | Settings: IDE Settings: Paths "
I realize that i dont have Path , i have Path Variables , so thats not
the same.
Because when i try and click on the Path buttton , i dont get this
picture
http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/docs/help/images/generics/setupmanual1.g
if
I have no idea what the guide is talking about , because it gives
misleading pictures.
I need to know whats the problem with the guide , and whenever i try
to make a HelloWorld application i get an error telling me to Setup
JDK , i need a guide to tell me how to set it up.

If there is a guide to it please tell me , Thanks.

Which version of IntelliJ IDEA are you using?

It's most likely File | Settings | Project Settings | JDKs

I try all direcories , but it wont work and it says " the directory selected is not home for JSDK.
Then i choose the Project language level:

Up to now, your steps are correct. Did you download a JDK from java.sun.com?
Which exactly version? Where did you install it? Which exactly directory
do you specify?

You need to specify C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_02 as the JDK home.

This means that your class (and, consequently, the package containing it
and the project itself) contains errors.

And whenever i tried to Run the applictaion i get tons of erros

public class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String[] args) {
system.out.println("HelloWorld");
}
}

The name of the System class needs to be upper-cased.

Note that asking for general Java development help is off-topic for this
newsgroup.
