Hi.

We do not support JRE 9/10 yet to run IDEA, please switch to bundled JRE:

https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/206544879-Selecting-the-JDK-version-the-IDE-will-run-under

Thanks a lot

For now on I have always used bundled JDK this time I tries JDK.

I hope this solve my problem. I will let you know

When will Intellij support jre 9, 10 or 11? Java 11 is releasing in a few months and java 8 is out of support in half a year.

@Markehammons I was talking about JRE used to run IDEA itself - IDEA is a java application and the best way to run it is to use bundled custom JetBrains JRE. It has some fixes to provide the best user experience. If you referring to a language level in Java projects, IDEA 2018.2 support Java 11: https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2018/06/java-11-in-intellij-idea-2018-2/

I was talking about the same. I'm not big on having to use intellij with a bundled ancient version of java. Are you going to keep bundling java 8 after it exits free support?

It will be done some day, there are plans, but unfortunately, there is no ETA.

Thanks Petr Rastegaev your solution worked for me and I am using JDK 10 with bundled JRE.

I have the same problem and I don't know how to switch to the bundled JRE. I've read the instruction, but it says I need to edit the  /home/<username>/.<product>/<product>.jdk file. I don't have such a file and such a directory. The instruction also suggests to edit /bin/idea.sh, but I don't know what exactly to edit there. What should I edit?

Remove IDEA_JDK environment variables and make sure to download and run IntelliJ IDEA with the bundled runtime.
