"Could not find or load main class" when using template after installing second JDK

I was using JDK ver 8 and recently installed ver 11 additionally (Amazon coretto). In intelliJ I am just choosing desired JDK each time I create a project. It works with empty project but any time when I try to create project from "command line template" to have main method ready at the start I get the "Could not find or load main class com.company Main" error (regardless of what JDK i chose for the project but there are some differences - with correto 11 there is additional error line saying "Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:com.company.Main). Creating new run configuration with the same main class does not help.

Any ideas what might be wrong here?

Any ideas what might be wrong here?

EDIT:

I also noticed that if I create such project from template and then delete all package folders in src folder and make new Main class from the scratch the problem still persist.

Hi there,

when I try to create project from "command line template"

 How do you create it? Is it a user-defined template?

The problem happens with the pre defined "command line app" template (that one:https://i.imgur.com/DpVadRp.png) but I checked and created my own template (the user defined one are showing in different place than this command line app one. They are here:  https://i.imgur.com/gqsylXc.png ) and the problem occurs also with them even though they were working the moment I saved them as template (looks like it somehow did not save the run configuration?)

I just started reading the link You gave me but did not find anything yet that I can relate to my issue.

The problem sounds related to IDEA-184561 and IDEA-284897.

Is the <project-name>.iml file present in the project's root folder?

Does the created modules.xml file (.idea folder) contain the correct module name? (fileurl property, see e.g. below)

...
<modules>
  <module fileurl="file://$PROJECT_DIR$/test_java.iml" filepath="$PROJECT_DIR$/test_java.iml" />
</modules>

Please also attach one of the created projects (entire folder), and idea.log file (Help | Show Log in...).

No it is not in the root folder of the project. Who organizes code like that. Wasted several hours today. Always intellij. Still not there. Will see if I can move it to test.
