I'm very happy to hear that NEW version of IntelliJ launched !

And I downloaded 2016.1 version of IntelliJ, and installed it.

and i launched and run/debug my plug-in project, a dialog with '...cannot run under JAVA 7.....' is shown...!

I really want to use new IntelliJ 2016.1 version, but i should use Java 7 because my project work is under Android Studio

(a plug-in development work)

can i use new version of IntelliJ 2016.1 with Java 7 ?

Please help me!

(i cannot change(upgrade) my java version,

because several modules i using (in work) is not support java 8, and compatible with Java 7)

IntelliJ IDEA itself runs under Java 8, but you can use any Java version to build and run your projects, including Java 7.

Could you please share a sample project that doesn't run with Java 7 for you?

I'm sorry but i cannot share my project, because of my develop site's firewall policy....

I installed 2016.1 version and import old project, and set SDK for that project,...

JDK 1.7 is successfully set.
And I pressed + button and select 'IntelliJ platform plugin SDK' then select new Intellij 2016.1 folder. (c:\....program files\..)
then a dialog show up (it say 'No Java SDK of appropriate version found. In addition to the IntelliJ Platform Plugin SDK, you need to define a JDK with the same Java version (JDK_1_8, description: 1.8)')

Thank you for your reply

That is true for plug-in development you need to use Java 8 since IntelliJ IDEA platform has migrated to Java 8. You will not be able to build and run IntelliJ IDEA sandbox with Java 7 or older versions.
