Related to this question, am I right in thinking that recent versions of IntelliJ automatically set up an SDK for projects to use from the bundled JRE?

No, Java Runtime Environment cannot be set as a Java Development Kit.

Yes, it can, as long as it includes tools.jar (which the bundled one does).

I ask because in my plugin I actually create an SDK automatically from the bundled JB runtime if the user has no SDK configured, but it seems like that might be redundant in recent IntelliJ versions since it seems that IntelliJ also does that. I just wanted to confirm that I can remove that functionality from my plugin.

Where do I find this class `IdeSdks` 
It's not included in the tools.jar  FYI: working on IntelliJ IDEA plugin
