Version of Java used in "IDEA jdk" for building CE
I've noticed that the following two pages are inconsistent in the version of JDK to which the "IDEA jdk" (required to build IDEA CE from sources) must point to:
The former says it's 1.8, while the latter says it's 1.6. Which is correct?

In fact the truth is somewhere between: 'IDEA jdk' should be set to JDK 1.6 installation in order to properly compile some modules from IntelliJ IDEA sources which target 1.6 and older Java version. However if you don't plan to edit sources from these modules it's ok to set 'IDEA jdk' to JDK 1.8 installation.
We'll update the docs, thank you for the report.
